In the event that either the Service Director, the Planning and Development Director, the City Engineer or the Service Director refuses to give his or her approval of a plat, any party aggrieved thereby shall have the right to appeal such decision to the City Planning and Zoning Commission by filing a notice of such appeal, containing the reasons therefor, with the Commission, the City Engineer, the Planning and Development Director and the Service Director. The Commission shall notify the Planning and Development Director, the Service Director, the City Engineer and the party bringing the appeal of the time, date and place at which such appeal will be heard by the Commission. The Commission shall have the power, after hearing the appeal, to give its final approval to such plat or subdivision without the approval of the Planning and Development Director, the Service Director and/or the City Engineer. Such approval shall then be referred to Council for confirmation and approval and no plat shall be recorded until the approval of Council has been endorsed thereon.
(Ord. 121-1996. Passed 6-3-96; Ord. 66-2001. Passed 4-2-01.)
The street pattern of all subdivisions shall provide for ease of circulation of traffic within the subdivision, as well as convenient access to adjoining streets, thoroughfares or unsubdivided land. Reserve strips at the edge of subdivisions controlling access to the streets thereof from land adjoining the subdivision shall be prohibited. In any case where a street will eventually be extended beyond the plat but is temporarily dead-ended, an interim turn-around will be required. Dead-end streets will be permitted in cases where the Planning and Zoning Commission finds that such a street will be in the best interests of the City considering the topography of the area and all other relevant factors, and if a circular roadway is provided at the end thereof so that vehicles may be easily turned around without backing.
(Ord. 178-1959. Passed 9-14-59.)
All new streets on the plat of any subdivision shall have a minimum width of 50 feet, but if, in the opinion of the Planning and Zoning Commission, the prospective traffic load of any such street justifies a greater width, the Commission may at its discretion require a greater width for the street.
(Ord. 178-1959. Passed 9-14-59.)
The provisions of this chapter may be modified by the Planning and Zoning Commission in specific cases where unusual topographical or other exceptional conditions require such modification. The modification may be made where the Commission finds that strict compliance would result in great practical difficulty and extraordinary hardship, in order that substantial justice may be done while at the same time securing the public interest.
(Ord. 178-1959. Passed 9-14-59.)
Prior to final approval, the subdivider shall have installed, or furnished surety, in accordance with Section 1313.03 to guarantee the installation of the improvements hereinafter required and maintenance thereof for a period of two years.
(Ord. 66-2001. Passed 4-2-01.)
Permanent monuments of a type acceptable to the City Engineer shall be set under the direction of a registered surveyor at the intersection of all outside boundary lines of the platted property and at all points of intersection and change of alignment in the center lines of streets.
(Ord. 66-2001. Passed 4-2-01.)
