The purpose of this chapter is to allow parcels to be replatted into five or fewer lots without being subject to the procedural provisions of the full subdivision regulations of this title.
A. The minor plat procedure is to combine all of the requirements of the preliminary plat and final plat into one plat review period.
B. This exemption from the procedural requirements shall in no manner constitute an exemption from any of the design standards or requirements outlined in the subdivision regulations.
C. Applicability of the minor plat procedure to a specific case shall be determined by the criteria set forth in this chapter. (Ord. 569 (part), 2002)
A. No minor plat shall involve at any stage of the procedure the creation of more than five lots or parcels.
B. No property involved or created by a minor plat shall be involved in a subsequent minor plat procedure for a period of one year from the date of filing of the original minor plat procedure.
C. No minor plat shall be approved in any case in which the extension of public water, sewer or streets or any other physical improvement (excluding the installation of public sidewalks) is required by the subdivision regulations of this title.
D. No minor plat shall be approved in any case in which a variance to the subdivision ordinance has been applied for in accordance with Chapter 16.28 of this code.
E. No minor plat shall be approved unless it complies with all existing city land use regulations, the adopted comprehensive plan and its policies, and the adopted zoning ordinance.
F. No minor plat shall be approved unless it complies with all applicable local, state, and federal policies and laws. (Ord. 569 (part), 2002)
A. The applicant for a minor plat must submit five copies and an 8.5 by 11 inch copy of the proposed minor plat to the planning administrator.
B. An accurate survey of the existing parcel(s) in the proposed minor plat shall be prepared by a state- registered land surveyor and submitted by the applicant to the planning administrator.
C. A topographic map with contour intervals of not more than five feet shall be required, unless the public works director deems such a topographic map unnecessary in the overall consideration of the request and intent of this title.
D. The applicant is required to submit all information that is normally required with a plat application according to this title. (Ord. 569 (part), 2002)
A. The city planning commission shall review the minor plat to see if it conforms with the minimum standards and requirements outlined in Chapters 16.08 through 16.24. After due consideration by the city planning commission, the commission shall transmit copies of the minor plat to the city council, together with its recommendations within sixty (60) days after receipt thereof by the city. The recommendations shall include approval, disapproval or suggestions for modification and the reasons therefor, and a discussion of the effect of the minor plat on the comprehensive plan. The recommendations shall be of an advisory nature only. If the city planning commission does not act within sixty (60) days, the minor plat shall be deemed to have received a favorable recommendation in all respects and shall receive due consideration by the city council at its next regularly schedule meeting unless the applicant agrees to an extension.
B. After due consideration of the minor plat, the city council shall approve, disapprove or modify the recommendations of the city planning commission, and may impose those requirements or grant those variances in conformance with this title deemed necessary and appropriate for final approval by the city council. The final plat shall be approved or disapproved within ninety (90) days after receipt thereof by the city, unless the applicant agrees to an extension; otherwise the plat shall be deemed approved and a certificate to this effect shall be issued by the city council upon demand.
