As a prerequisite to final plat approval, the commission, plat committee, or staff shall determine that the final plat conforms to the principles and standards required in this chapter and with the comprehensive plan. The standards contained in this chapter are minimum requirements; the commission may impose higher standards where conditions warrant. Such conditions include but are not limited to topography, traffic volumes and patterns, and drainage. When the commission imposes a higher standard, it shall state the reasons for doing so. The commission shall not permit the installation of privately funded street or utility extensions that will result in scattered or leapfrog development which would place an undue burden on providing other municipal services.
