The approval or denial of a lot split shall be based upon the following guidelines:
A. Conformance With Zoning Regulations: Lot dimensions and area shall conform to the zoning regulations of the city. No lot split shall be approved which would create a nonconforming lot.
B. Sewage Disposal: Adequate provisions shall be made for the proper disposal of sewage. Each lot created by a lot split shall have direct access to a public sewer. A lot not served by a public sewer shall be of sufficient area to properly accommodate an individual sewage disposal system. Any lot split application which would create a lot of one acre or less shall be accompanied by appropriate tests performed by an authorized representative of the Garfield County department of environmental quality, determining the proposed lot to be suitable for an individual sewage disposal system.
C. Water Supply:
1. Each lot created by a lot split shall have direct access to a public water supply. A lot not served by a public water main shall be of sufficient area to properly accommodate both a water well and an individual sewage disposal system, if a public sewer is not available.
2. Any lot split application which would create a lot of one acre or less shall be accompanied by appropriate tests performed by an authorized representative of the Garfield County department of environmental quality, determining the proposed lot to be suitable for both a water well and an individual sewage disposal system, when a public sewer is not available.
D. Access To Utilities: No lot split shall be approved which would create a lot without access to adjacent or adjoining public utilities.
E. Access To Streets: No lot split shall be approved which would create a lot without frontage upon a public street. (Ord. 98-25, 9-1-1998)
