(A) No person shall partition or divide any parcel of land within the corporate limits of the village until such division is approved by the Village Council. To this end, all plans and applications for such shall be submitted to the village for review and approval, for consideration of the general layout, accessibility to parcels divided and compliance with all code requirements of the village. The application and plans shall be referred to the Planning Commission and to the Village Engineer for their comments and approval prior to placing the application on the agenda of the Village Council.
(B) All divisions of unplatted land shall meet the following requirements.
(1) Any parcel of land resulting from a division of lands pursuant to this subchapter which does not abut a public road shall abut a private road which shall be constructed in accordance with the village engineering design standards and shall be located in an easement not less than 60 feet wide, except in the case where one residentially zoned parcel is split into two such parcels, one of which does not abut a public road, there shall be provided a driveway easement of not less than 20 feet in width to a public road. If any property which has been split subject to this exception is at any later date split again, the exception will not apply and a private road shall be required pursuant to the terms of this section.
(2) The minimum parcel size in area and the minimum front lot line width of any parcel of land shall be in compliance with the applicable requirements of the zoning ordinance. The minimum lot size in area shall be exclusive of all dedicated road rights-of-way.
(3) Any due or unpaid taxes or special assessments upon the property shall be paid.
(4) All parcels resulting from a land division pursuant to this subchapter shall be provided with access to water, sewer, electrical and communication utilities adjacent to said parcels in public roads or in easements granted to the village or to the Oakland County Department of Public Works.
