GENERAL PROVISIONS
(A) The purpose of dividing open land into home sites, or separate parcels for other uses, is one of the most important factors in the growth of any community. Few activities have a more lasting effect upon its appearance and environment. Once the land has been subdivided into urban lots and the streets, homes, and other structures have been constructed, the basic character of this permanent addition to the community has become firmly established. It is then virtually impossible to alter its basic character without substantial expense. In most subdivisions, roads and streets must be maintained and various public services must be provided. The welfare of the entire community is thereby affected in many important respects. It is, therefore, to the interest of the general public, the developer, and the future owners that subdivisions be conceived, designed, and developed in accordance with sound rules and proper standards.
(B) All subdivision of land hereafter submitted for approval shall fully comply in all respects with the regulations set forth herein. It is the purpose of these regulations:
(1) To provide for the orderly, economic, and safe development of land and urban services and facilities;
(2) To promote the public health, safety, morals, and general welfare of residents of the city;
(3) To assure equitable handling of all subdivision plats by providing uniform procedures; and
(4) To place the cost of improvements against those benefitting from their construction.
(Ord. 179, passed 2-16-78)
