 7        Sec.  5-1041.  Maps,  plats  and  subdivisions.  A county
 8    board may prescribe, by resolution or  ordinance,  reasonable
 9    rules  and  regulations  governing  the  location,  width and

14    block, lot or sub-lot or any part thereof  or  any  piece  or
15    parcel  of  land,  not  being  within  any  city,  village or
16    incorporated town.  The rules  and  regulations  may  include
17    such reasonable requirements with respect to water supply and
18    sewage  collection and treatment as may be established by the
19    Environmental  Protection   Agency,   and   such   reasonable
20    requirements   with  respect  to  floodplain  and  stormwater
21    management as may be established  by  the  County  Stormwater
22    Management Committee established under Section 5-1062 of this
23    Code, and such reasonable requirements with respect to street
24    drainage  and  surfacing  as may be established by the county
25    engineer  or  superintendent  of  highways   and   which   by

27    the interest of the health, safety, education and convenience
28    of the public of the county; and may  provide  by  resolution
29    that  the  map, plat or subdivision shall be submitted to the

11    estimating  engineer.  The  cash  bond, irrevocable letter of

21    insure completion of the requirements, the requirements shall
22    be  subject to the provisions of Section 5-1123 of this Code.
23    This Section is subject to the provisions of Section 5-1123.

25    of  fees  sufficient  to  reimburse  the county for the costs
26    incurred in  reviewing  such  maps,  plats  and  subdivisions
27    submitted   for  approval  to  the  county  board.  The  fees
28    authorized by this Section are to be paid  into  the  general
29    corporate  fund  of  the county by the party desiring to have
30    the plat approved.
