[Ord. No. 2005-03 §470.010, 5-9-2006]
Any proposed lot splitting shall be submitted to the Planning
and Zoning Commission for review; and if the Planning and Zoning Commission
is satisfied that such proposed lot split is not contrary to applicable
regulations, it shall, within twenty (20) days after submission, approve
such lot split and, on presentation of a conveyancy of said parcel,
shall stamp the same "approved by the City Planning and Zoning Commission,
no plat required" and have it signed by the Public Works Director
or other official as may be designated by it. In so doing, the Planning
and Zoning Commission may require the submission of a sketch plat,
record of survey and such other information as it may deem pertinent
to its determination hereunder.
[Ord. No. 2005-03 §470.020, 5-9-2006]
In any particular case where the developer can show by plan
and written statement that, by reason of exceptional topographic or
other physical conditions, literal compliance with any requirement
of these regulations would cause practical difficulty or exceptional
and undue hardship, the Planning and Zoning Commission may modify
such requirement to the extent deemed just and proper, so as to relieve
such difficulty or hardship; provided however, that such relief may
be granted without detriment to the public interest and without impairing
the intent and purpose of these regulations or the desirable general
development or welfare of the neighborhood and the community in accordance
with the Comprehensive Plan and the zoning ordinance. Any modification
thus granted should be included in the minutes of the Planning and
Zoning Commission setting forth the reasons which, in the opinion
of the Planning and Zoning Commission, justified the modification.
Any modification granted which is later determined to be in violation
of any State or Federal regulation, Statute, requirement or order
shall be void. The applicant assumes all such risks in making the
request for a modification.
