A. Whenever there is a tract or previously subdivided parcel under single ownership which is to be resubdivided into three (3) or fewer lots, the proposed subdivision may be exempt from the procedural provisions of this title, and a preliminary and final plat may not be required, but this shall not constitute an exemption from any of the design requirements herein contained.
B. Exemptions which shall be designated as "lot splits" shall be permitted under the following procedures:
1. An accurate survey, prepared by a land surveyor registered in the state of Oklahoma, shall be submitted of the proposed tract, and the resubdivision thereof shall be submitted to the city engineer, or his designated representative.
2. The city engineering and planning staff shall review the proposed lot split to ensure compliance with all design and improvement requirements of this title and shall prepare a written report thereon, which shall be forwarded to the planning commission in not more than fifteen (15) days after receipt of the application for a lot split, for consideration at the next regular meeting of the planning commission. If the application is approved by the planning commission, it shall be certified by the signature of the chairman of the planning commission and attested by the secretary. If the application is denied, the reasons for denial shall be stated in writing, with reference made to the express provision of this title to which the proposed lot split does not conform, and shall be transmitted to the applicant.
3. Whenever a deviation is required from the improvement requirements contained herein or a street or other element is to be dedicated, the action of the planning commission shall be forwarded to the city council for its approval and acceptance of dedications. For all other types of lot splits, the action of the planning commission shall be final, as approved by the city council. (Ord. 65, 1-21-1980)
