  1. OK Code
  2. Title 11

A. Before the commission may exercise jurisdiction over

subdivision of land, it shall adopt regulations governing the

subdivision of land within its jurisdiction. The regulations may

provide for the proper arrangement of streets in relation to other

existing or planned streets and to the master plan, for adequate and

convenient open spaces for traffic, utilities, access of fire-

fighting apparatus, recreation, light and air, or for the avoidance

of congestion of population, including minimum width and area of

lots.

B. The regulations on subdivision of land may include

provisions as to the extent to which streets and other ways shall be

graded and improved and to which water and sewer and other utility

mains, piping or other facilities shall be installed as a condition

precedent to the approval of the plat. The regulations or practice

of the commission may provide for a tentative approval of the plat

previous to such installation; but any such tentative approval shall

be revocable for failure to comply with commitments on which the

tentative approval was based, and shall not be entered on the plat.

In lieu of the completion of any improvements and utilities prior to

the final approval of the plat, the commission may accept an

adequate bond satisfactory to the commission, with surety, to secure

to the municipality the actual construction and installation of the

improvements or utilities at a time and according to specifications

fixed by or in accordance with the regulations of the commission,

and further conditioned that the developer will pay for all material

and labor entering into the construction of the improvements. The

municipality is hereby granted the power to enforce such bond by all

appropriate legal and equitable remedies.

C. Nothing in this section shall be construed as granting to

any municipality or city planning commission the power to direct any

public utility to extend its services to any particular area.

D. All regulations governing the subdivision of land shall be

published as provided by law for the publication of ordinances, and

before adoption, a public hearing shall be held thereon.
