City option to grant waivers <br />Cities may opt to waive enforcement of this statute in instances where the <br />city determines that enforcing this prohibition on recording will create an <br />unnecessary hardship, and failure to comply does not interfere with the <br />purpose of the subdivision regulations. <br />The city may waive this statute by adoption of a resolution, and the <br />conveyance may then be filed or recorded. <br />C. Civil remedies <br />City ordinance provisions may allow the city to deny issuance of permits <br />and approvals for any tracts, lots, or parcels for which subdivision approval <br />has not been obtained. This provision applies not only to subdivision <br />permits, but building, occupancy, and zoning permits as well <br />A city may also enforce its subdivision ordinance by requesting an <br />injunction (a court order requiring someone to stop a particular activity or <br />type of conduct) or other appropriate remedy from the court. <br />D. Criminal remedies <br />Cities may provide for criminal penalties for violation of the city subdivision <br />ordinance. In an ordinance, cities may designate ordinance violations as <br />misdemeanors or petty misdemeanors. Cities may impose maximum <br />penalties for misdemeanors of a $1,000 fine or 90 days in jail, or both. In <br />addition, the costs of prosecution may be added. The maximum penalty for a <br />petty misdemeanor is a fine of $300. <br />League of Minnesota Cities Information Memo: 4/15/2014 <br />Subdivision Guide for aties Page 31 <br />
