     The county of Olmsted may by ordinance adopt regulations

or division under Minnesota Statutes, section 272.12, 272.16, or 
272.161, the auditor shall not transfer or divide the land or 
its assessed valuation in the official records and shall not 
certify the instrument as provided in section 272.12 until the 
transfer or division has been reviewed by the county zoning 
administrator.  The county zoning administrator shall examine 
each instrument to determine that the proposed conveyance 
complies with the subdivision and platting regulations of the 
county.  The zoning administrator shall complete the examination 
within 30 days after receipt of the transfer or division.  After 
the effective date of an ordinance adopted in accordance with 
this section, no instrument of conveyance dividing property 
within the county of Olmsted shall be transferred by the auditor 
which has not been approved by the zoning administrator. 
    Sec. 2.  [LOCAL APPROVAL.] 
    This act shall be effective upon its approval by the board
