(a) Any subdivision regulation shall contain:

(1) Procedures and requirements for the submission and processing of plats.

(2) Standards for the design and layout of streets, curbs, gutters, street lights, fire hydrants, shade trees, water, sewage and drainage facilities, public utilities and other necessary public improvements.

(b) Such regulations may provide, however, that the planning commission or the development review board may waive or vary, subject to appropriate conditions, the provision of any or all improvements and requirements as in its judgment of the special circumstances of a particular plat or plats are not requisite in the interest of the public health, safety and general welfare, or which in its judgment are inappropriate because of inadequacy or lack of connecting facilities adjacent or in proximity to the subdivision.

(c) Subdivision regulations may include specific development standards to promote the conservation of energy or to permit the utilization of renewable energy resources or both.
