Minor Subdivision - Shall be those subdivisions of land, which
generally are of a secondary planning significance to the community's
future development. They shall contain no more than five (5) lots
and no new streets.
The following procedures shall be adhered to in the processing
of all minor subdivision plats:
1.
Purpose. The purpose of this article is to establish special requirements
to expedite the preparation and processing of minor subdivision plats.
2.
Pre-Application Conference. The developer may arrange a conference
with the staff of the Planning Commission before a minor subdivision
plat is submitted. The developer, or his designated representative
should have a rough sketch plan prepared before the pre-application
conference to show the boundaries of the tract.
3.
Plat Preparation. A plat suitable for recording shall be prepared
by a licensed and registered surveyor, after the developer or his
representative has communicated with the staff of the Planning Commission
to determine if the proposed subdivision qualifies as a minor subdivision.
4.
Staff Review. The Commission's staff shall review the plat for conformance
to all applicable regulations, mark the copies where any necessary
changes are required, and return one copy to the developer. During
the review process, the staff will secure comments from other concerned
agencies.
5.
Planning Commission Review. When the plat conforms to these regulations,
it shall be submitted to the Commission for the necessary approval
accompanied by a completed minor subdivision checklist. The Commission
may delegate this review procedure to the Commission staff.
6.
Signing by the Chairman. When the plat fully conforms to these regulations,
the Chairman of the Commission shall sign the Commission's Certification
on the plat to signify the Commission's approval and make it eligible
for recording. The Commission may delegate this certification procedure
to the Commission staff.
7.
Copies Required. After signing of the plat by the Chairman or a designated
staff member of the Commission, and before the approved plat is returned
to the developer, the developer shall have five (5) copies of the
plat made and delivered to the staff of the Commission. The approved
plat may then be returned to the developer.
8.
Recording. After the staff's review and the Commission's approval
of the plat, the signed plat shall be recorded in the exact form as
previously approved by the Staff of the Planning Commission at the
expense of the applicant, or else the approval becomes null and void.
Minor subdivision plats shall be prepared according to the following
specifications. In addition to the plat, improvement drawings may
be required by the Planning Commission if necessary.
1.
Material and Size. Plats submitted to the Planning Commission shall
be 8 1/2" x 14", 11" x 17" or 18" x 24" unless otherwise authorized.
