The purposes of these regulations are to promote the public
health, safety and general welfare of the City by regulating the division
and redivision of land; to lessen congestion in streets and highways;
to further the orderly development and appropriate use of land; to
establish accurate records of land subdivisions; to protect land title;
to implement the Comprehensive Plan; to secure safety from fire and
other dangers; to facilitate adequately coordinated provision of transportation,
water, sewerage, schools, parks, playgrounds and other public requirements;
to facilitate the further division of larger tracts into smaller parcels
of land; to preserve natural features such as stands of trees, streams,
significant rock formations and historical landmarks; and, in general,

[Ord. No. 552 §1.2, 11-21-2006]
A.
These
subdivision regulations are adopted under authority granted by Chapter
89, RSMo., 1987. The Greendale Planning Commission, which was established
in accordance with Chapter 89, RSMo., has fulfilled the requirements
set forth in the applicable Sections of the Revised Statutes as necessary
for adoption of such regulations by the Board. These regulations provide
a procedure and minimum standards of design and construction by which
the Board can equitably appraise all proposed plats for land subdivision,
plat preparation, review and approval requirements.
B.
Therefore,
every subdivision of land within the City shall be upon a plat and
submitted to the Planning and Zoning Commission for its approval or
disapproval. With the exception of boundary adjustments, all subdivision
plats with the Planning and Zoning Commission's approval or disapproval
endorsed thereon shall be submitted to the Board of Alderpersons for
its consideration and approval or disapproval. No plat shall be recorded
in the office of the Recorder of Deeds unless and until it is approved
as provided for in these regulations. No lot, subject to these regulations,
shall be sold unless first established by provisions of these regulations.
No building permit shall be issued for construction on a parcel or
lot created in violation of these regulations.
[Ord. No. 552 §1.3, 11-21-2006]
Wherever there is a conflict between the minimum standards set
forth in these regulations and ordinances or resolutions, the most
restrictive or highest standards shall apply. Moreover, nothing in
these regulations shall prohibit the developer from placing self-imposed
restrictions or imposing higher standards than required by these regulations,
but not in violation of these regulations, on the development.
[Ord. No. 552 §1.4, 11-21-2006]
The invalidity of any provision of these regulations shall not
invalidate any other part thereof which is not itself invalid.
