§ 152.019 MINIMUM DIMENSIONS.
   (A)   Scope. This section shall be applicable to PUD zoned areas only where specified.
   (B)   Streets.
      (1)   The width of streets shall conform to the width designated on the thoroughfare plan and any subsequent amendments thereto.
      (2)   Streets shall have the following minimum right-of-way widths:
            Boulevard            100 feet
            Arterial            80 feet
            Collector            60 feet
            Local               60 feet
            Cul-de-sac            60 feet
            Minor               50 feet
         Right-of-way widths in PUD zoned areas shall be subject to the approval of the Planning and Zoning Commission and shall not be less than 50 feet in width. An additional ten feet shall be required where parking is provided on both sides of the street except for minor streets.
      (3)   The minimum diameter of the right-of-way of a turnaround for a cul-de-sac street with a length of 300 feet or less shall be 110 feet. The minimum diameter of the right-of-way of a turnaround for a cul-de-sac street with a length of over 300 feet shall be 120 feet. Cul-de-sac streets with lengths greater than 500 feet shall have an additional ten feet of right-of-way for sidewalks or an additional 15 feet for right-of-way for bikepaths unless otherwise specified by the Municipal Engineer.
      (4)   Whenever any subdivision or resubdivision provides lots in the interior of existing blocks, such lots shall front upon, or have proper access to a permanently dedicated street which connects with one of the streets bounding the block.
      (5)   Whenever there exists a dedicated or platted portion of a street adjacent to the tract to be subdivided, the remaining portion of the street shall be platted or dedicated to provide a minimum right-of-way of 60 feet or that shown on the thoroughfare plan.
      (6)   Rights-of-way at a street intersection shall be connected with a straight line connecting the points of tangency of an arc circumscribed between the intersecting right-of-way lines. The minimum radius of the arc shall be 25 feet unless otherwise specified by the Municipal Engineer. This section shall not affect the location of setback lines.
   (C)   Blocks and lots.
      (1)   No block shall be longer than 1,500 feet between street lines.
      (2)   Where blocks are over 750 feet in length, the Planning and Zoning Commission may require a crosswalk near the center of the block. The right-of-way for any such walks shall not be less than ten feet in width and such walk space shall be improved with at least a four-foot wide walk.
      (3)   All side lines of lots shall be at right angles to straight street lines, or radial to curved street lines, unless a variation to this rule will give a better street and lot plan. Lots with double frontage should be avoided if possible.
      (4)   Corner lots shall have extra width to permit the maintenance of building lines on both front and side streets, as required by the zoning ordinance.
      (5)   The minimum area and width of all lots shall conform to the area regulations of the zoning district in which the lot is located.
      (6)   Within all residential subdivisions, including those within a Planned Unit Development District, the minimum front setback will be determined for each street by the zoning district in which the development is located. The setback should be varied among adjacent lots by at least five feet. No more than one-third of the lots within the subdivision may employ the minimum setback line, and the varied setbacks should be reasonably dispersed throughout the subdivision. The Planning Commission has the discretion to waive or modify this requirement within PUD zoned areas provided it determines such action is warranted to maintain a desired development style or design.
      (7)   Within residential subdivisions, including those within Planned Unit Development Districts, a 65-foot minimum “buildable” depth shall be maintained for each lot. This depth will be measured as the minimum perpendicular distance between the front building line and the required rear yard, no-build zone or no-disturb zone, or other applicable setback(s). The “buildable” width is the minimum distance between required side yards and will be measured parallel to the right-of-way line whenever practical and shall not include any portion of no-build zones, no-disturb zones, bike path easements, or other applicable setback(s), except that the minimum buildable width restriction shall operate to accommodate side-load garages, driveways, and parking areas. The minimum buildable width will be established at the time of zoning. The buildable area of a lot is established to contain the building, any building additions, decks, porches, accessory structures, on-site parking, and any accessory uses. The Planning Commission has the discretion to waive or modify this requirement within PUD zoned areas provided it determines such action is warranted to maintain a desired development style or design.
      (8)   Variation in lot width shall be required for all subdivisions with more than eight lots, including those within Planned Unit Development Districts. No more than six lots in a row may have the same lot width. There must be a minimum variation of ten feet. Lots of varying width must be dispersed throughout the subdivision. No more than 50% of the lots contained within the preliminary plat shall be of the minimum width. In addition, 15% of the lots contained within the preliminary plat must have a width at least 20 feet above the minimum requirement. Corner lots will not be counted toward the 15% requirement. When all of the lots within a development are 100 feet or wider, then the varied lot width requirement shall not apply. The Planning Commission has the discretion to waive or modify this requirement within PUD zoned areas provided it determines such action is warranted to maintain a desired development style or design.
   (D)   Easements. Easements shall be provided where required and necessary.

   (A)   This section is not applicable to PUD zoned areas.
   (B)   The preliminary plat shall be deemed submitted to the Planning and Zoning Commission at its first regular meeting scheduled not less than ten days following the filing of the plat with the Clerk-Treasurer as provided. The Commission shall forward a copy of the preliminary plat to the Engineer for review and report. The Commission shall approve, approve with modifications or disapprove the plat at its next regular meeting. The failure of the Commission to approve or disapprove a plat within the time herein fixed or such further time as the applying party may agree to, shall constitute approval of the plat by the Commission, and the certificate of the secretary of the Commission as to the date of the submission of the plat for approval and the failure to take action thereon within such time, shall be issued on demand and shall be sufficient in lieu of the written endorsement of approval required by this section.
('80 Code, § 1103.07) (Ord. 27-74, passed 5-6-74)
§ 152.021 DISAPPROVAL BY PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION.
   (A)   This section is not applicable to PUD zoned areas.
   (B)   If the Planning and Zoning Commission disapproves such preliminary plat, it shall enter in its minutes the reason for such disapproval, including citation of or reference to the rule or regulation violated by such plat. The subdivider may thereafter make such changes as necessary to conform the plat to the rules and regulations and resubmit the same as revised to the Commission for approval or disapproval, which revised plat shall be processed within the times and in the manner provided in this section.
('80 Code, § 1103.08) (Ord. 27-74, passed 5-6-74)
§ 152.022 APPROVAL BY COUNCIL.
   (A)   This section is not applicable to PUD zoned areas.
   (B)   Upon approval of a preliminary plat, the Planning and Zoning Commission shall certify one copy thereof to the Council for approval or disapproval. Failure of Council to approve or disapprove the preliminary plat at the next regular meeting occurring more than ten days following certification of the plat to Council shall be deemed to constitute approval of the preliminary plat by Council, unless a further delay is agreed to by the subdivider. Approval by Council of the preliminary plat shall constitute approval of the layout of the streets and public grounds shown thereon, and shall evidence Council's intention to accept the dedication of the same upon approval by the Commission of the final plat. The approval of the preliminary plat shall be effective for a maximum period of 24 months unless an extension is granted by the Commission.
   (C)   The approval of the preliminary plat does not constitute an acceptance of the subdivision, but merely authorizes the developer to proceed with work of the final plat. One copy of the approved preliminary plat signed by the secretary of the Planning and Zoning Commission, attesting to such approval, and the Mayor, shall be retained in the office of the Clerk-Treasurer. One signed copy shall be given to the subdivider and one copy to the Municipal Engineer.
   (D)   Receipt of such signed copy is authorization for the subdivider to proceed with the preparation of detailed plans and specifications for the minimum improvements required in the subdivision regulations, and with the preparation of the final plat. Prior to the construction of any improvements required or to the submission of any bond, the subdivider shall furnish to Council all plans, information and data necessary for such improvements. These plans shall be examined by Council and will be approved if in accordance with the requirements of the subdivision regulations. Following this approval, construction can be started or the amount of a bond determined, as provided.
