He also included a Minnesota Attorney General opinion on a case from 1967 in which the city of Benson, Minn., had a similar dispute with its neighboring township. The opinion stated that since the town did not elect to approve plats under the statute prior to the exercised authority by the city of Benson, then the town is without the power to do so, meaning they would have to still use the city s subdivision process within their 2-mile extra territorial zone.
