The following general requirements shall apply to all minor subdivisions.
(A) A minor subdivision shall be located in an A, R, C, or I district.
(B) Each lot in a minor subdivision shall be connected to a sanitary sewer system provided by a sanitary sewer utility, or have a soils report or an individual septic system approved for each lot by the County Health Department or the State Department of Health as the case may be. Alternatively, a lot need not have access to public sewer or such approval from the Health Department if the subdivider commits in the restrictive covenants for the subdivision to not using such lot for a residence.
(C) Each lot in a minor subdivision shall be connected to a public water system provided by a water utility, or connected to a private well according to the requirements of this subchapter.
(D) Any lot created as a part of a minor subdivision, including the remainder of the root parcel, if any, shall not thereafter be subdivided, re-subdivided, amended, or altered in such a way as to create an additional lot, except for an exempt subdivision as defined in § 153.145.
(E) Any minor subdivision, or lot created as a part of a minor subdivision, may be amended in order to adjust or relocate the platted property lines under the requirements of this subchapter, provided no new lot is created in the process.
(F) A minor subdivision may be amended by adding area not originally included in the minor subdivision, including adding area to a lot or lots created as a part of the minor subdivision, provided no new lot is created in the process.
(G) A lot created as part of a minor subdivision may be subdivided, re-subdivided, amended, or altered as apart of a major subdivision that otherwise meets the requirements of this subchapter.
(H) All other subdivision and lot area requirements of this subchapter shall be met.
(I) A minor subdivision may be approved for primary and secondary review by the Design Committee in lieu of the Plan Commission as permitted by I.C. 36-7-4-701. If the proposed plat does not involve the opening of a new public way and complies in all other respects with the subchapter, the Design Committee may grant primary approval without public notice or a hearing, subject to appeal to the Plan Commission. If no public hearing is necessary, notice of the Design Committee’s decision shall be given to interested parties as provided in I.C. 36-7-4-701 advising of their right to appeal to the Plan Commission. If the minor plat involves the opening of a new public way, the Design Committee shall conduct a public hearing after notice to interested parties as provided in I.C. 36-7-4-706 prior to primary approval.
