A. Wherever any subdivision of land shall hereafter be laid out, the subdivider thereof or his agent shall submit a tentative and final subdivision plat to the zoning officer. Said plats and plans of proposed improvements and all procedures relating thereto, shall in all respects be in full compliance with these regulations.
B. Until plats and plans for the subdivision are approved, properly endorsed and recorded:
1. No land shall be subdivided, nor any street laid out, nor any improvements made to the natural land.
2. No lot, tract, or parcel of land within any subdivision shall be offered for sale nor shall any sale, contract for sale, or option be made or given.
3. No improvements such as sidewalks, water supply, stormwater drainage, sanitary sewerage facilities, gas service, electric service or lighting, grading, paving, or surfacing of streets shall hereafter be made by any owner or owners or his or their agent, or by any public service corporation at the request of such owner or owners of his or their agent.
C. All land offered to the city for use as streets, alleys, schools, parks and other public uses shall be referred to the zoning officer for review and recommendation before being accepted by the city or by any other governing authority.
D. No plat will be approved for a subdivision which is subject to periodic flooding or which contains poor drainage facilities and which would make adequate drainage of the lots and streets impossible. However, if the subdivider agrees to make improvements which will, in the opinion of the city engineer, make the area safe for residential occupancy and provide adequate lot and street drainage, the preliminary plat of the subdivision may be approved. All plats shall comply with the state drainage provisions and city of Barry sewage ordinance and city of Barry floodplain management ordinance.
E. In the case of preliminary plats for parts of tracts, an owner will be required to prepare a street plan of his entire tract based upon proper topographic surveys before approval of any portion of such plat.
F. Connection to city utilities is mandatory within one thousand feet (1,000') of the existing city utilities.
G. The subdivider shall be required to reimburse the city for all engineering fees, attorney fees and costs incurred with approval of the subdivision plat. (Ord. 2006-01, 2-6-2006)
