(A) Minor subdivisions. Division of such parcels into no more than ten (10) lots, that comply with the following criteria, shall be considered a minor subdivision and shall be administratively reviewed in two (2) stages: 1) preliminary plat review; and 2) construction plan and final plat review. A minor subdivision may be approved for a division of land if the following conditions are met:
(1) All proposed lots are for detached single family residential lots.
(2) Any proposed street may not exceed one thousand three hundred twenty (1,320) feet in total length and the new street shall directly connect to an existing public or privately maintained right-of- way.
(3) All lots being created shall have fee simple access on a public or privately maintained street.
(4) All lots shall meet the minimum lot frontage area and dimensional requirements for the zoning district in which they are located.
(5) The subdivision shall be all inclusive and shall not consist of more than one (1) phase of development.
(B) Re-plats or subdivisions that do not require the creation of new streets or right-of-way and are not located within a Special Flood Hazard Area may be reviewed under an application for final plat review and approval. A lot grading plan, drainage plan, and wetlands delineation, if applicable, shall be included with the final plat for review.
(C) Exemptions. The following are exempt from the subdivision platting process subject to conformance to all other land development regulations, including but not limited to, lot design and lot drainage requirements of the Land Development Code.
(1) The division of one (1) parcel or lot into no more than two (2) lots, where both of the proposed lots meet the minimum frontage requirements abutting a public or privately maintained road and there is no change in street lines or easements.
(D) Provision of water and sewer. A minor subdivision may be developed under the following parameters:
(1) Parcels with city water available to them, meaning existing water lines running along the parcel's frontage or across the street that the parcel has frontage upon, may be exempt from providing city sewer if existing sewer lines are not located within one-quarter (¼) mile of the parcel. This distance shall be measured using existing road right-of-ways. For such a parcel of land, the lots in the minor subdivision shall be a minimum of one-half (½) acre in size. The subdivision must connect to the city water system.
(2) Parcels with city water available to them, and existing sewer lines located within one-quarter (¼) mile of the parcel, must provide sewer to each lot, regardless of the size of the lots in the subdivision. The subdivision must connect to the city water system.
(3) Parcels located within areas that do not have either water or sewer lines available to them shall be required to provide both water and sewer to the subdivision, unless each lot is a minimum of one (1) acre in size. If both water and sewer are brought to the site, than the minimum lot size shall be consistent with what is provided for in the applicable Zoning District.
