If the Code Inspector, or his/her designated agent, determines that the proposed subdivision of land meets the following criteria, then it shall be classified as a minor subdivision:
(a) Adjoins an existing public street and does not involve opening, widening, extension or improvement of any roadway, and
(b) Creates no more than five (5) lots including the remainder, and
(c) Complies with the requirements of Chapter 711 of the Ohio Revised Code and applicable zoning regulations of the City.
All other subdivisions not meeting the standards above shall be considered as major subdivisions and subject to the full requirements of this Chapter.
If the subdivision is considered as a minor subdivision, only such drawings and information as is determined necessary by the Code Inspector to determine compliance with pertinent subdivision, zoning and other regulations need to be submitted for approval. At a minimum, the submitted material shall include a survey of the property by a Registered Surveyor, along with a completed application form as provided for such purpose by the Code Inspector.
After determination that such action meets the criteria for a minor subdivision and within ten (10) business days after it has been submitted, the Code Inspector may approve or disapprove said minor subdivision by indicating upon the preliminary plan or instrument of conveyance "Approved (Disapproved) Galion Planning Commission / No Plat Required", or he/she may refer such submittal to the full Planning Commission. In cases of approval or disapproval, one (1) copy of the preliminary plan or instrument of conveyance, with such notation thereon, shall be retained for the files of the Planning Commission. The decision of the Code Inspector may be appealed in writing to the full Planning Commission within thirty (30) days from the date of the approval or disapproval.
If no action on the proposed minor subdivision is taken within thirty (30) days from submittal, then the minor subdivision shall be considered as approved by the Planning Commission. (Ord. 2017-23. Passed 6-13-17.)
