SUBDIVISION TYPES AND PROCESSES
This chapter recognizes two types of subdivision plats; minor subdivision plats and major subdivision plats.
(A) The city will allow minor subdivision plat process and regulations (see § 155.27) to be used when all of the following conditions exist:
(1) No more than five lots are being created from a parent tract. No additional phases where more lots are created will be permitted.
(2) The subdivision will not require creating a new public right-of-way, new private or public streets, or improvements to an existing public or private street.
(3) All new lots and surrounding lots will have adequate ingress and egress.
(4) Adequate utilities necessary for development on the new lots are available.
(5) The lots are not completely or partially in a floodplain.
(6) The parent tract has adequate storm water drainage.
(7) If by reason of topography, natural or man-made features, or other conditions relating to the property to be subdivided, better access can be provided through construction of a new street, the petition shall be considered as a major subdivision.
(8) All newly created lots will have driveway locations which will provide at least 100 feet of visibility in both directions along the street that the driveway connects.
(9) All newly created lots will be suitable building sites for the purposes for which the land is to be used.
(B) All other subdivision requests shall be subject to the major subdivision plat process and regulations (see § 155.29).
(Ord. 6405, passed 4-10-06)
(A) Any subdivision which meets the requirements set forth in § 155.25 may be processed under an abbreviated procedure which meets ordinance and statutory requirements but eliminates procedural steps not pertaining thereto.
(B) The subdivider should consult informally with the Plan Director for advice and assistance before filing the application for a minor subdivision plat. At this meeting, the developer should convey a conceptual layout of the plat for review.
(C) No application for minor subdivision plat shall be accepted until it is determined that the proposed subdivision qualifies for a minor subdivision plat (see § 155.25).
(D) No application for minor subdivision plat shall be accepted until the application form is deemed complete and all of the necessary information (attachments) has been submitted by the petitioner.
(E) The petitioner shall submit one copy of the application and 14 copies of the proposed plat and all attachments to the Plan Director along with the application fee payment. At that time the Plan Director will issue a docket number and schedule the minor subdivision plat to be heard at a regularly scheduled Plan Commission meeting.
