Sec. 182.

(1) The governing body of a municipality in which the subdivision is situated may require the following as a condition of approval of final plat, for all public and private streets, alleys and roads in its jurisdiction:

(a) Conformance to the general plan, width and location requirements that it may have adopted and published, and greater width than shown on a county or state plan, but may not require conformance to a municipal plan that conflicts with a general plan adopted by the county or state for the location and width of certain streets, roads and highways.

(b) Proper drainage, grading and construction of approved materials of a thickness and width provided in its current published construction standards.

(c) Installation of bridges and culverts where it deems necessary.

(d) Submission of complete plans for grading, drainage and construction to be prepared and sealed by a civil engineer registered in the state.

(e) Completion of all required improvements relative to streets, alleys and roads or a deposit by the proprietor with the clerk of the municipality in the form of cash, a certified check or irrevocable bank letter of credit, whichever the proprietor selects, or a surety bond acceptable to the governing body, in an amount sufficient to insure completion within the time specified.

(2) As a condition of approval of the plat, the governing body may require a deposit to be made in the same manner as provided in subdivision (e) of subsection (1), to insure performance of any of the obligations of the proprietor to make required improvements.

(3) The governing body shall rebate to the proprietor, as the work progresses, amounts of any cash deposits equal to the ratio of the work completed to the entire project.

(4) The governing body shall:

(a) Reject a plat which is isolated from or which isolates other lands from existing public streets, unless suitable access is provided.

(b) Reject a plat showing a street or road name duplicating one already in use in the municipality, except in continuing a street or road.

(c) Reject a plat showing the name of a new street, alley or road that is so similar to the one already in existence in the municipality that permitting such use in the subdivision may be confusing for purposes of assessing, mail delivery and locating by the public.
