§ 131. Approval of Plats.

Whenever any plat of any parcel of land within the limits of the City, showing divisions and subdivisions of such parcel into lots, blocks and streets, shall be submitted to the City Council for approval pursuant to the provisions of M.S.A. Ch. 505, with intention to dedicate such streets to public use, such plat shall be accompanied with a delineation of a sufficient part of other platted portions of the City to indicate how the streets marked on such plat correspond and connect with streets already in use in the City; and the Council may require such alterations to be made in the streets as shown on the plat so presented as in its opinion are necessary to preserve uniformity and regularity in the public streets of the City, and may withhold approval of the plat presented until such alterations shall be made; and should any lot or block outlined in such plat be sold or offered for sale as such lot or block before such alterations are made or before approval of the plat by the Council, the person selling or offering the same for sale shall be liable to the penalty prescribed by Laws of Minnesota.
