1 1 Section 1. Section 354.8, Code 2001, is amended to read as
1 2 follows:
1 3 354.8 REVIEW AND APPROVAL BY GOVERNING BODIES.
1 4 1. Prior to approval of a subdivision plat by a governing
1 5 body pursuant to subsection 2, all preliminary and final
1 6 subdivision plats for a subdivision that is to be served by a
1 7 private on-site wastewater treatment and disposal system or a
1 8 community wastewater treatment and disposal system that only
1 9 serves the subdivision shall be reviewed and approved by the
1 10 local board of health or the county sanitarian. Any lot in
1 11 the subdivision that is to be served by a private on-site
1 12 wastewater treatment and disposal system shall be of adequate
1 13 size to accommodate a future expansion of the system or a
1 14 replacement system in the event of a system failure.
1 15 2. A proposed subdivision plat lying within the
1 16 jurisdiction of a governing body shall be submitted to that
1 17 governing body for review and approval prior to recording. A
1 18 city may establish jurisdiction to review subdivisions outside
1 19 its boundaries pursuant to the provisions of section 354.9.
1 20 Governing bodies shall apply reasonable standards and
1 21 conditions in accordance with applicable statutes and
1 22 ordinances for the review and approval of subdivisions. The
1 23 governing body, within sixty days of application for final
1 24 approval of the subdivision plat, shall determine whether the
1 25 subdivision conforms to its comprehensive plan and shall give
1 26 consideration to the possible burden on public improvements
1 27 and to a balance of interests between the proprietor, future
1 28 purchasers, and the public interest in the subdivision when
1 29 reviewing the proposed subdivision and when requiring the
1 30 installation of public improvements in conjunction with
1 31 approval of a subdivision. The governing body shall not issue
1 32 final approval of a subdivision plat unless the subdivision
1 33 plat conforms to sections 354.6, 354.11, and 355.8.
1 34 If the subdivision plat and all matters related to final
1 35 approval of the subdivision plat conform to the standards and
2 1 conditions established by the governing body, and conform to
2 2 this chapter and chapter 355, the governing body, by
2 3 resolution, shall approve the plat and certify the resolution
2 4 which shall be recorded with the plat. The recorder shall
2 5 refuse to accept a subdivision plat presented for recording
2 6 without a resolution from each applicable governing body
2 7 approving the subdivision plat or waiving the right to review.
2 8 EXPLANATION

2 22 failure.
