This article shall apply to the division of one or more lots
plotted into lots or blocks and designated on the subdivision plat
or into tracts of land designated on the Assessor's plat, either
of which is on file in the office of the Register of Deeds of Juneau
County, when such division shall create one or more separately described
tracts, and this article shall also apply to the consolidation of
two or more such platted lots or tracts or parts thereof into one
or more tracts, upon compliance with the conditions set forth herein.
The owner or owners of such platted lots or lot to be so divided or consolidated shall file in the office of the City Clerk-Treasurer a proposed survey plat or proposed certified survey map prepared by a registered land surveyor of the lot or lots to be divided or consolidated. Such plat of survey shall show the dimensions of said lots as measured from the recorded plat and also the proposed division thereof. A written description of the separately described tract or tracts which shall result from the proposed subdivision or consolidation shall be filed with such plat or survey. This procedure shall be followed in place of the requirements of §§ 515-19, 515-20 and 515-21 of this chapter. The tracts of land which will result from such division or consolidation shall conform to the requirements of the zoning district wherein they are located. As a result of such division or consolidation as herein authorized, no remaining part of the original lot or tract shall become a separately described lot upon completion of said proposed plat which will not be in conformance with the minimum dimensions of the zoning district where it is located. This division or consolidation of land shall be approved by the Plan Commission and Common Council prior to construction of any improvements thereon.
Before any improvements or structures are made or built, and before any new use can be made of a part of such tracts of said division or consolidation of individual lots of record, the developer shall guarantee that he will pay for the cost of extensions of required improvements set forth in Article VII of this chapter.
