(2) Cities, towns, and counties shall include in their short plat regulations and procedures pursuant to subsection (1) of this section provisions for considering sidewalks and other planning features that assure safe walking conditions for students who walk to and from school.
(3) The legislative body of a city, town, or county may by ordinance exempt short plats or short subdivisions from the requirements in subsection (1) of this section in which the division is for the purpose of establishing a site solely used for an uninhabited public or private utility or telecommunications facility, provided a record survey is recorded per chapter 58.09 RCW."
