(A) The approval process varies based upon the type of subdivision.
(1) Exempt subdivision. No approval is required for exempt subdivisions.
(2) Administrative subdivision. Approval of an administrative subdivision is a one-step process involving the approval of a secondary plat. The approval or disapproval of an administrative subdivision is delegated to the Administrator.
(3) Minor subdivision. Approval of a minor subdivision is a one-step process involving the approval of a secondary plat. The approval or disapproval of a minor subdivision is delegated to the Administrator. The Plan Commission may approve a waiver allowing the creation of more than four lots if the other requirements for a minor subdivision are met.
(4) Major subdivision. Approval of a major subdivision is a two-step process including the approval of a primary plat and a secondary plat. The approval or disapproval of a primary plat is delegated to the Plan Commission. After a primary plat approval, a property is eligible for secondary plat approval. The approval or disapproval of a secondary plat is delegated to the Administrator.
(B) Appeal. If the applicant does not agree with the approval conditions or disapproval of a subdivision by the Administrator, the applicant may file a petition of appeal to the Plan Commission. Appeals must be filed in writing at least ten days before the next Plan Commission meeting.
(C) Requirement for site plan approval. Primary plat approval will not be granted unless a site plan addressing the entire parent parcel is approved prior to or simultaneously with the primary plat. Secondary plat approval will not be granted unless a detailed site plan is approved prior to or simultaneously with the secondary plat.
