(a) If an applicant(s) wishes to re-plat (i.e. make alterations to existing lot lines or other conditions) all or part of an existing platted subdivision, the applicant must pay fee and submit a completed application consisting of the following:
(1) A completed application form provided by the Municipality of Groveport setting forth the details of the proposed re-plat.
(2) A final plat (re-plat) submitted on an eighteen (18) inch by twenty-four (24) inch sheet of paper on Mylar with:
A. The surveyor's name and signature.
B. The property owner's notarized signature.
C. The notary public's signature and stamp.
(4) Applicants seeking the re-plat of lots with existing structures located on them shall submit a dimensionally accurate sketch drawing prepared by a registered surveyor illustrating the revised lot lines, together with the outlines of such structures. This shall include the access point location of the driveway(s) to the public roadway.
(5) The re-plat shall assign a new lot number(s) to all new or modified lots.
(6) Re-plats must illustrate and/or describe all easements on the original plat. Where utility easements do not exist, a ten (10) foot utility easement shall be established along all lot lines, except those with public road frontage.
(7) Any re-plat proposing to "vacate" street right of way within a platted subdivision must vacate such right of way with a re-plat. The applicant shall provide the names and addresses (no banks or other institutional names) of all adjoining property owners.
(8) The applicant shall comply with all other applicable subdivision regulations.
(b) Combining entire existing tax parcels may be accomplished through the Franklin County Auditor's Office, without the approval of a plat through the Planning and Zoning Commission if the existing parcels have the same deed reference, are adjacent to each other, are not separated by a public roadway, and the acreage of all parcels is combined into a single tax parcel by filling out an "Application for Combination" at the Auditor's Office listing the tax parcel numbers to be combined. Lot combinations cannot create a non-conforming situation as per Section 1191.12.
(c) An applicant proposing the re-subdivision of a plat previously recorded by the County Recorder shall follow the same procedures required for a subdivision. Other proposals for the alteration of a plat or the vacating of a plat shall comply with Sections 711.17-711.20 of the Ohio Revised Code.
(d) Proposals for the platting of street openings, widenings, and extensions; platting of open spaces for common use by owners, occupants, or leaseholders; and easements for the extension and maintenance of public sewer, storm drainage, or other public utilities shall follow the same procedures required for a subdivision.
