Before exercising the powers referred to in this chapter, the planning commission shall adopt general regulations governing the subdivision of land within its jurisdiction to provide: 1. For the proper arrangement of streets in relation to other existing and planned streets and to the master plan; and 2. For adequate and convenient open spaces for traffic, utilities, access of firefighting apparatus, recreation, light, and air, for the avoidance of congestion of population, and for easements for building setback lines or for public utility lines. Such regulations may include requirements as to the minimum width and area of building lots, the extent to which streets and other public ways shall be graded and improved, and to which water and sewer and other utility mains or other facilities shall be installed as a condition precedent to the approval of the plat.
