§ 154.05 OVERVIEW.
   (A)   A filed plat shall be required in accordance with the procedures outlined in this chapter in the following circumstances:
      (1)   Subdivision of land into two or more parts;
      (2)   Changing the configuration of existing filed plats;
      (3)   Division of land where there is no access to the tract(s);
      (4)   Division of land where new public infrastructure is required; or
      (5)   Prior to obtaining building permits on unplatted lots.
   (B)   If the Director of Planning and Development or his or her designee determines that a plat or replat is required, no building permit shall be issued by the city until satisfactory compliance is achieved.
   (C)   The subdivider, developer or person requesting plat approval will be required to install, at his or her own expense, all water lines, streets, street signs, sewer lines, storm sewer lines, drainage facilities and structures within the subdivision, in accordance with city standards governing the same, including all engineering costs covering design, layout and construction. When a street pavement of a greater width than 42 feet, back of curb to back of curb, is required by the city, the city shall pay the cost of paving the additional width and associated costs. There will be no participation by the city in the cost of any of the underground utility lines or drainage facilities, within the subdivision, except in the event of the requirement for oversize mains to serve land areas and improvements beyond the subdivision in question or to serve other subdivisions. The city’s participation will be considered individually, upon the merits of each facility and the condition involved, and shall be in accordance with policies set forth by the City Council. All utility mains will be sized to meet the acceptable services/pressures adopted by the city. The city will not participate in water mains eight inches or larger in diameter and sewer mains eight inches or larger in diameter unless these mains are required by the city for future expansion and which are not required to serve the development in question with acceptable services/pressures adopted by the city.
