Whenever a division of a tract of land meets the criteria stated for Type I subdivisions in Section 1220.03, the procedure for approval of such division shall be as follows:
(a) The owner of the tract of land and/or his or her agent shall have prepared by a registered surveyor an accurate drawing to a scale not less than one inch equals fifty feet, or to such other scale acceptable to the Planning Commission, showing the following:
(1) The name and address of the owner(s) and the name of the registered surveyor who prepared the drawing.
(2) Date, approximate north point and graphic scale.
(3) The location of existing and platted property lines, streets, buildings, watercourses, railroads, sewers, bridges, culverts, drain pipes, water mains and any public utility easements on the land to be subdivided.
(4) The locations, widths and other dimensions of proposed easements, parks and other open spaces, reservations, lot lines, building lines and utilities.
(5) The acreage of each individual parcel being created by the division.
(6) Plans for any (if any) proposed individual water supply or sewage disposal system. This may be on or attached to the drawing. These plans are not required if Village water and sewer systems are to be used.
(7) Review statement (on or attached to required drawing), signature and date of review by the designated representative of the County Board of Health, commenting upon the adequacy of any (if any) proposed individual water supply and sewage disposal system; commenting upon the topography and soil conditions, the proposed size of lots, the number of lots in the general vicinity, and other matters which may affect the operations of individual sewage disposal systems; and commenting upon any serious health hazard that the approval of the subdivision may create. This statement is not required when Village water and sewer facilities are to be used.
In making such review, the County Board of Health may require whichever information it deems necessary to be provided by the owner, of the parcel(s) or tract(s) of land shown on the subdivision or his or her agent.
(b) The owner or his or her agent shall provide the Planning Commission's authorized representative with the original drawing. If the authorized representative is satisfied that such proposed division is not contrary to Chapter 1226 or other applicable platting, subdividing or zoning regulations, and that approval of such subdivision will not create or lead to the creation of any serious health threat, he or she shall, within seven working days after submission, approve such division and shall stamp the original drawing of the same "Approved by the Loudonville Planning Commission; no plat required" and attach his or her signature. If such division is not approved, the reasons for such action shall be stated to the owner and/or his or her agent in writing. All applications and subsequent action taken on such subdivisions shall be reported to the Planning Commission at the following regular meeting of the Planning Commission.
If the owner of the property and/or his or her agent disagrees with the decision or requirements specified by the authorized representative, he or she may then appeal to the Planning Commission.
Once approval is granted by the authorized representative acting for the Planning Commission, or by the Planning Commission, the original drawing shall be filed with the County Recorder as the official drawing of record. Failure to file such approved drawing within one year of such approval shall void the approval.
To prevent the many development problems that occur from subdividing land along existing roadways on a piecemeal basis, the following regulations shall apply:
(1) No owner of any parcel of land as shown on the tax maps at the time of adoption of these Subdivision Regulations shall subdivide such land into more than five lots of less than five acres as a Type I subdivision.
(2) No frontage of any existing street shall be subdivided to the extent that less than fifty percent of the original parcel frontage, as shown on the tax maps at the time of adoption of these Subdivision Regulations, is retained as a part of such original parcel, unless exempted by the Planning Commission.
Whenever a proposed subdivision of land exceeds any of the above limitations, such subdivision of land shall follow the procedure for plat approval for Type II subdivisions. Exceptions to the above may be granted by the Planning Commission only when it can be clearly shown that platting under the procedure for Type II subdivisions would be of no value in obtaining better subdivision of the land.
