1113.02 REVIEW AND APPROVAL BY PLANNING COMMISSION.

   The provisions of these Regulations shall be administered by the Planning Commission. The Commission meetings at which a subdivision application is considered shall be open to the public, and any person attending may present any appropriate matter thereto. The Commission, upon its own motion, or by petition of owners of property on a preliminary plan of a subdivision, shall hold a public hearing thereon at such time and place and upon such notice as the Commission may designate. (Ord. 1961-3. Passed 7-31-61.)

1113.03 PREAPPLICATION ACTION.

   Before planning a subdivision or dividing a parcel of land, the developer of land shall obtain a copy of these Subdivision Regulations, and information showing how the provisions of the Zoning Ordinance, the Thoroughfare Plan and other plans of the City may effect the development of the property under consideration. (Ord. 1961-3. Passed 7-31-61.)

1113.04 SUBMISSION OF SKETCH PLAN.

   Prior to subdividing or resubdividing land within the jurisdiction of these Subdivision Regulations, the developer shall submit five prints of a sketch plan of the proposed subdivision to the secretary of the Planning Commission not more than seven or less than three workings days prior to a regular meeting of the Commission, and it shall take action at such meeting. The sketch shall be for the purpose of classification and preliminary discussion and it shall include such information and plans as may be required by the rules of the Planning Commission. These provisions shall not be construed to require the preparation of a plan or plat or filing for review the conveyance of property by a description used in conveying the same property prior to October 19, 1953. (Ord. 1961-3. Passed 7-31-61.)

1113.045 PROPOSED LOTS WHICH DO NOT MEET ZONING REQUIREMENTS.

   If, after submission of the sketch plan of the proposed subdivision, resubdivision or division of property, the Planning Commission determines that one or more lots, as defined by the Zoning Ordinance, intended to be created by such proposed subdivision, resubdivision or division, do not meet the minimum requirements of the Zoning Ordinance, the Planning Commission shall notify the developer of such fact and thereafter shall take no further action until the developer has secured a variance from the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance from the Board of Building and Zoning Appeals.

   If the developer secures a variance from the Board of Building and Zoning Appeals, the Planning Commission may thereupon proceed to consider the application for the subdivision, resubdivision or division of the land in accordance with the procedure hereinafter set forth.

(Ord. 1964-13. Passed 4-27-64.)

1113.05 CLASSIFICATION OF MINOR SUBDIVISION.

   If the Planning Commission determines the proposed subdivision of land:

   (a)    Adjoins an existing public street and does not involve the opening, widening, extension or improvement of any street or the installation of any public utility; and

   (b)    Creates not more than five lots; and

   (c)    That the original tract or all adjoining tracts of same ownership have been completely subdivided or would not be adversely affected by the proposed subdivision; and

   (d)    Complies with the Zoning Ordinance, and other sections of the Code;

then it shall be classified as a minor subdivision. (Ord. 1961-3. Passed 7-31-61.)

1113.06 APPROVAL OF MINOR SUBDIVISION.

   If a proposed subdivision, classified as minor, complies with the provisions of these Subdivision Regulations, and the sketch plan is satisfactory, it shall be approved, and a notation to that effect shall be made thereon by the secretary of the Planning Commission.

   The Commission shall determine if a metes and bounds description or a final plat shall be required for recording.

   If a final plat shall be required, it shall be submitted to the secretary, reviewed, acted upon and recorded in the same procedure as a major subdivision.
