(a) Floodplain. No subdivision shall be located in an area subject to periodic flooding or high water as determined by the Village. If the subdivision is located in an area having poor drainage or other adverse physical characteristics, the Planning Commission may approve the subdivision provided the subdivider agrees to perform such improvements as will render the area safe for the intended use.
(b) Planned Unit Development. Following the official adoption of these Regulations, no land shall be subdivided without complying with the provisions of these Regulations with the exception of certain modifications allowed for Planned Unit Developments. Building setbacks, yard area requirements, and pedestrian walkways may be modified by the Planning Commission to the extent that such Planned Unit Development will contribute to the orderly, efficient, and economical development of the Village.
(c) Sale of Land. No lot, tract, or parcel of land within any subdivision shall be offered for sale, nor shall any sale be completed until such subdivision plats have been reviewed and officially approved by the Planning Commission and recorded by the County Recorder’s Office.
(d) Improvements. No improvements, such as sidewalks, water supply, wastewater facilities, stormwater drainage, gas and electric service, lighting, paving, or surfacing of any street, shall be made within any subdivision by any subdivider until the preliminary plat, final plat, and construction drawings for the subdivision have been properly reviewed and approved by the Village Council and the Village Administrator, and officially approved by the Planning Commission and until all required contracts and performance surety for public improvements have been posted and accepted.
(e) Grading. Preliminary or rough grading may be permitted following review and approval of the preliminary plat in advance of the approval of the final plat and construction drawings, provided that such grading does not impair or alter existing drainage or create an adverse impact on adjacent property.
(f) Frontage. No lot shall be created through the subdivision of land that does not have frontage on a thoroughfare or street that is regularly maintained.
