Whenever a tract of land under a single ownership which is to be subdivided into three or fewer lots, where all required off site improvements are in place and accepted by the City, the proposed subdivision may be exempted from the procedural requirements of this article, but this shall not constitute an exemption from any of the design or off site improvements requirements contained herein. Exemptions may be permitted for minor subdivisions under the following procedures:
(a) The proposed subdivision is located along an existing public road, and involves no opening, widening or extension of a public roadway.
(b) An accurate survey of the tract, prepared by a registered land surveyor, has been submitted to the Mayor or their appointed designee.
(c) The Mayor or the appointed designee shall review the proposed minor subdivision to insure compliance with all design and off site improvement requirements of these regulations, and submit a written report to the Planning Commission for consideration at the next regular Planning Commission meeting.
(d) If the application is approved, it shall be certified by the signature of the Chairperson of the Planning Commission and attested to by another Planning Commission member.
(e) The applicant shall provide "Certified Mail/Restricted Delivery/ with return receipt" notice to all adjacent landowners, as per current tax records, at least seven (7) days prior to the hearing. The applicant will provide a copy of the certified mail deliveries to the City. The determination of adjacent will be made as if public easements and rights of way were nonexistent. (Thus, property across the street would be considered adjacent. Property with a common corner is considered adjacent.) (Passed. 2-15-94.)
