1109.03 MINOR SUBDIVISION; APPLICATION.

   (a)    Classification. A subdivision is classified as a minor subdivision if it comprises a division of a parcel of land along an existing public street not involving the opening, widening or extension of any street or road, not involving the installation of any underground public utilities and not involving more than five lots after the original tract and all the contiguous land owned by the developer has been completely subdivided. The replatting of not more than five lots along a public street is also classified as a minor subdivision.

(Ord. 1967-37. Passed 1-9-68.)

   (b)    Application. An application for approval for each minor subdivision including a sketch plan complying with the requirements set forth in Section 1115.02 shall be filed by the developer with the Secretary of the Planning Commission. The Commission may take action upon the application after its receipt of all required information. Except, however, if the application discloses that the minor subdivision or lot split will result in a nonconforming lot under the Code, the Commission shall not approve the application at the first regularly scheduled meeting at which it reviews the application. The earliest date of approval for such an application shall be the second regularly scheduled meeting after the application's presentation to the Commission so that all necessary approvals may be obtained and that all residents may have an opportunity to understand the application.

(Ord. 1991-54. Passed 11-12-91.)

   (c)    Approval. If the Commission finds after reviewing the proposed division of land that:

      (1)    Not more than five lots will be created and all the land in the original tract and all the contiguous land owned by the developer would be completely subdivided;

      (2)    The sketch plan is properly coordinated with adjoining development and adjoining unplatted land; and

      (3)    The sketch plan complies with the planning criteria and other provisions of the Subdivision Code and other codes and plans of the City applying to minor subdivisions, then the Commission shall approve the proposed minor subdivision.

   A notation of the action taken shall be made on the sketch plan by the Secretary, Chairman or other officials as may be designated by the Commission, and the developer shall be informed if a metes and bounds deed description or a plat will be required. Three prints of the approved sketch plan shall be furnished to the Commission.

   If the Commission determines the proposal should be reviewed as a major subdivision or if the proposal cannot be approved for other reasons, the Commission may suggest revisions to the plan before it is resubmitted.
