LAND SPLITS
§ 153.115 PURPOSE.
   Land splits. Provide for the division of land of 2.5 acres or less into 2 or 3 parcels through a process that is more expeditious than the subdivision process; maintains accurate records of maps created to divide existing parcels or lots; ensures adequate legal access to lots or parcels; and ensures that land splits do not constitute a subdivision. Certain basic improvements and design standards may be necessary and desirable in order to ensure proper development of an area experiencing an increase in density. These provisions are necessary to prevent circumventing the intent and spirit of these land division regulations and to ensure responsible development.
