1.
No lot split shall be approved if:
a.
A new street or alley is needed or proposed.
b.
A vacation of streets, alleys, setback lines, access control
or easements is required or proposed.

requirements (e.g., utilities, schools, traffic control, streets,
etc.) or will interfere with maintaining existing service levels (e.g.,
additional curb cuts, repaving, etc.).
d.
There is less street right-of-way than required by these regulations
or the Comprehensive Plan unless such dedication can be made by separate
instrument.
e.
All easement requirements have not been satisfied.

Such split will result in a tract without direct access to a
street.
g.
A substandard-sized lot or parcel will be created.

The lot has been previously split in accordance with these regulations.
2.
The Zoning Administrator may make such additional recommendations
as deemed necessary to carry out the intent and purpose of existing
land development regulations and Governing Body policy. Requirements
may include, but not be limited to, installation of public facilities,
dedication of rights-of-way and easements, and submission of covenants
for the protection of other landowners in the original subdivision.
3.

with or without conditions, or disapprove the lot split within five
