Stat. §462.3581a. <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 shoreland <br />located within the Minnesota Wild and Scenic Rivers System are subject <br />to additional state law restrictions when developing a subdivision <br />ordinance. Subdivision ordinances in these cities must comply with <br />minimum state standards set by the commissioner of Natural Resources. <br />• Shoreland development requirements: For cities that contain shoreland, <br />state regulations control the use and development of shorelands. City <br />shoreland subdivision regulations must be at least as restrictive as state <br />standards and are subject to the review of the commissioner of Natural <br />Resources. <br />• President Theodore Roosevelt Memorial Bill to Preserve Agricultural, <br />Forest, Wildlife, and Open Space Land. When adopting or amending a <br />subdivision ordinance, cities must consider restricting new residential, <br />commercial, and industrial development in a manner consistent with the <br />Act's goal of preserving land from development sprawL Cities are not <br />required to adopt subdivision practices consistent with the T. Roosevelt <br />Memorial Preservation Act, but must demonstrate (possibly through <br />findings of fact), that their decision process considered the Act's stated <br />goals. <br />D. Obtaining technical assistance in ordinance <br />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 <br />use attorneys are also available to provide customized information and <br />training to member cities. <br />IV.
