A. Required Conditions: When a subdivision meets the requirements for an administrative subdivision in section 11-2-5 of this title and is situated in an area where public utilities and street rights of way to serve the proposed parcels already exist in accordance with city codes, and no further utility or street extensions are necessary, and the new parcels meet or exceed the size requirements of the zoning code, the applicant may apply for an administrative subdivision approval if the following conditions apply:
1. The proposed subdivision parcels shall not cause any portion of the existing lots, parcels, or existing buildings to be in violation of this regulation or the zoning code.
2. The new legal descriptions for the properties are metes and bounds rather than a plat.
3. The resulting lots must meet all applicable ordinance requirements, except that if one of the lots was previously nonconforming, it must become more conforming as a result of the subdivision.
B. Procedure: The planning and zoning administrator may choose, in his or her discretion, to require an administrative subdivision to follow the procedure applicable to other subdivisions.
C. Survey And Design Information Required: The plans shall be clearly and legibly drawn at a scale no greater than one inch equals one hundred feet (1" = 100') and shall contain the following information:
1. Identification And Description:
a. The location of the subdivision by section, township and range.
b. The name and address of the owner(s), subdivider(s), surveyor, and designer.
c. Graphic scale, north point, and date of preparation.
2. Existing Conditions:
a. A boundary line survey of the proposed subdivision, including measured distances and angles, which shall be tied into the nearest section or quarter section corner by traverse.
b. Existing zoning classifications, including shore land designations for land within the subdivision and on abutting property within three hundred fifty feet (350') of the property within the proposed preliminary plat.
c. Wetlands from the national wetlands inventory and professionally delineated wetlands on the subject property.
d. Total acreage of the existing and proposed parcel and acreages of any wetlands therein.
e. Location, width, and name of every existing or previously platted street or private easement (either of record or any possible prescriptive easements), showing type, width and condition of improvements, railroad and utility rights of way, parks and other public open spaces, permanent buildings and structures, section lines and corporate boundaries within the proposed subdivision and within a distance of three hundred fifty feet (350') of said proposed subdivision. If the proposed subdivision gains access to a public street via a private easement, the entire easement until it intersects with a public right of way shall be depicted on the preliminary plat even if this extends beyond three hundred fifty feet (350').
f. If the proposed subdivision is a rearrangement or replat of any former plat or portion thereof, the lot and block arrangement of the original plat, along with its original name, shall be indicated by dotted or dashed lines. Also, any revised or vacated roadways of the original plat shall be so indicated.
g. Location and size of existing sewers, water mains, storm sewer mains, or other underground facilities within the proposed subdivision and to a distance of one hundred feet (100') beyond shall also be indicated.
h. Boundary lines of unplatted lands within three hundred fifty feet (350'), identified by record owner's name, shall be indicated.
i. Existing drainage patterns both within the property and current drainage patterns showing run on and runoff from the land.
j. The contour line denoting land classified as flood zone A or land below the known 100-year stormwater elevation.
3. Subdivision Design Features:
a. Locations and widths of pedestrianways and utility easements.
b. Minimum front and side building setback lines as required by the zoning ordinance.
c. An inset showing utility easements for five foot (5') side lot and ten foot (10') front.
4. Other Required Information: The following information shall be filed with or included on the proposed preliminary plat:
a. A complete topographic map, at a scale no greater than one inch equals one hundred feet (1" = 100'), with contour intervals not greater than two feet (2'), showing watercourses, wetlands, rock outcrops, and other significant features. Due to known high groundwater elevations, contour intervals of not greater than one foot (1') shall be required for applications within Section 6, Township 133N-Range 28W; Section 1, Township 133N-Range 29W and Section 31, Township 134N-Range 28W. At least one print of the preliminary plat shall be superimposed on a copy of the topographic map. USGS datum shall be used for all topographic mapping.
b. Soil absorption (percolation) tests where disposal fields are proposed for more than one dwelling unit and any other subsoil information requested by the city engineer.
c. Plans for water supply, sewage disposal, stormwater drainage system, including proposed location, size, and gradient of proposed sewer lines and water mains, and such other supporting data as may be required by the city engineer or the planning and zoning administrator.
d. Current professional delineation of all wetlands within the plat.
e. If any part of said plat is within a shore land district, such part of the plat shall show the elevation line of the shore land district boundary, ordinary high water mark and any bluffs.
f. If applicable, show the contour line of any land within a floodplain or, if the elevations for said land are not known, note accordingly.
g. Any additional information required by the planning and zoning administrator, the planning and zoning commission, or city staff members called upon to render opinions on any part of the proposed preliminary plat. (Ord. 2014-02, 2-18-2014)
