Stat. § 462.355 <br />subd 1; Minn. Stat § <br />103G.005 subd. 10b <br />LMCIT Land Use <br />Loss Control <br />• Floodplain requirements: State law sets minimum requirements and <br />standards for development in flood plains. City subdivision ordinances <br />must be consistent with state standards in order to preserve the capacity <br />of the floodplain to carry and discharge regional floods and minimize <br />flood hazards. <br />• Wild and scenic rivers development requirements: Cities with <br />shoreland located within the Minnesota Wild and Scenic Rivers System <br />are subject to additional state law restrictions when developing a <br />subdivision ordinance. Subdivision ordinances in these cities must <br />comply with minimum state standards set by the commissioner of <br />Natural Resources. <br />• Shoreland development requirements: For cities that contain <br />shoreland, state regulations control the use and development of its <br />shorelands. City shoreland subdivision regulations must be at least as <br />restrictive as state standards and are subject to the review of the <br />commissioner of Natural Resources. <br />• President Theodore Roosevelt Memorial Bill to Preserve <br />Agricultural, Forest, Wildlife, and Open Space Land. When adopting <br />or amending a subdivision ordinance, cities must consider restricting <br />new residential, commercial, and industrial development in a manner <br />consistent with the Act's goal of preserving land from development <br />sprawl. Cities are not required to adopt subdivision practices consistent <br />with the T. Roosevelt Memorial Preservation Act, but must demonstrate <br />(possibly through findings of fact), that their decision process considered <br />the Act's stated goals. <br />D. Obtaining technical assistance in <br />ordinance drafting <br />City subdivision is regulated by numerous diverse state and federal laws and <br />court cases. As a result, cities should retain the assistance of an experienced <br />planner and attorney when drafting subdivision ordinances. Cities may also <br />contact the League of Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust (LMCIT) for <br />assistance. Resources are posted on the League website, and LMCIT land use <br />attorneys are also available to provide customized information and training <br />to member cities. <br />12 LEAGUE OF MINNESOTA.
