1 6 subdivision plats that are to be served, in part or entirely,
1 7 by an on-site wastewater treatment and disposal system that

1 15 governing body for review and approval prior to recording.
1 16 Governing bodies shall apply reasonable standards and
1 17 conditions in accordance with applicable statutes and
1 18 ordinances for the review and approval of subdivisions. The
1 19 governing body, within sixty days of application for final
1 20 approval of the subdivision plat, shall determine whether the
1 21 subdivision conforms to its comprehensive plan and shall give
1 22 consideration to the possible burden on public improvements
1 23 and to a balance of interests between the proprietor, future
1 24 purchasers, and the public interest in the subdivision when
1 25 reviewing the proposed subdivision and when requiring the
1 26 installation of public improvements in conjunction with
1 27 approval of a subdivision. The governing body shall not issue
1 28 final approval of a subdivision plat unless the subdivision
1 29 plat conforms to sections 354.6, 354.11, and 355.8.
1 30 If the subdivision plat and all matters related to final
1 31 approval of the subdivision plat conform to the standards and
1 32 conditions established by the governing body, and conform to
1 33 this chapter and chapter 355, the governing body, by
1 34 resolution, shall approve the plat and certify the resolution
1 35 which shall be recorded with the plat. The recorder shall
2 1 refuse to accept a subdivision plat presented for recording
2 2 without a resolution from each applicable governing body
2 3 approving the subdivision plat or waiving the right to review.
2 4 A city may establish jurisdiction to review subdivisions or
2 5 plats of survey outside its boundaries pursuant to the
2 6 provisions of section 354.9. In the case of a city, the
2 7 provisions of this section apply to the review by the city of
2 8 both subdivision plats and plats of survey.
