(A) (1) In any case where the division of land into two or more lots or parcels for the purpose of transfer of ownership or building improvement is not specifically provided for in the provision of these regulations, a description of the land division shall be filed with the City Administrator.
(2) No building permit shall be issued for any construction, enlargement, alteration or repair, demolition or moving of any building or structure on any lot or parcel resulting from the division, until the division has been approved by the City Council. Prior to the consideration of the division by the City Council, they shall require that a certified survey be submitted.
(B) In cases where adjoining contiguous property owners wish to exchange or otherwise divide land with the intent of enlarging one of the parcels and as a result of the division neither parcel will be more nonconforming in accordance with Ch. 153 of this code, approval must be obtained from the City Council upon recommendation of the Planning Commission after review of the minor lot subdivision application.
(C) Some of the requirements for minor subdivision approval may be waived. However, the newly acquired land must be combined on the deed for recording purposes as the remainder of the owner’s property.
(D) The applicant of a subdivision containing not more than three lots requiring the construction of a public road thus defined as a major subdivision, may request preliminary and final plat at the same time. The risk of additional costs that may occur due to required changes of a plat already prepared for final plat are borne by the applicant.
