1115.03 MINOR SUBDIVISION: CLASSIFICATION; APPLICATION; APPROVAL.

    (a)    Classification. A subdivision as defined in Section 1113.22 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.

   (b)    Application. An application for approval for each minor subdivision including a sketch plan complying with the requirements set forth in Section 1121.02 shall be filed by the developer with the secretary of the Planning and Zoning Commission. The Commission shall take action upon the application at the next regularly scheduled meeting after receipt of all required information.

   (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; and

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

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

   A notation of the action taken shall be made on the sketch plan and deed by the secretary, chairman or other official 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.
