c.

2. 
Procedure.
a. 
A boundary adjustment shall be accomplished by plat and must include an adequate legal description of the boundaries of the original lots and of the adjusted lots. The plat survey shall be tied to the Missouri Coordinate System in accordance with the current Missouri Minimum Standards for Property Surveys and the coordinates of the exterior corner shall be shown on the plat. The coordinate system setup shall be:

c. 
Processing fees as presented in the Municipal Code shall be filed in conjunction with any boundary adjustment plat or deed.
3. 
Lots in compliance. Boundary adjustments may be allowed for lawful lots existing in non-compliance with minimum area, frontage and dimensional requirements of this Chapter or the Zoning Code, provided that resulting adjustment of lot lines does not increase the degree of non-compliance with the Zoning Code and this Chapter.
