(A) Scope. The minor subdivision procedure may be used for dividing one lot into two parts, combining two or more lots (or parts of lots) into one parcel, or a combination thereof. This definition shall apply only once to any subdividing transaction or conveyance involving any specific lot or combination of lots. Transactions or conveyances classified as minor subdivisions are hereby deemed not to constitute "subdivision development" as defined by Neb. RS 19-916. The following conditions for a minor subdivision shall apply:
(1) All required improvements shall have been installed and be available to the resulting parcel.
(2) No new dedication of public rights-of-way or easement can be involved.
(3) Minor subdivisions shall comply with the zoning ordinance requirements concerning minimum areas and dimensions of lots and blocks.
(4) A survey of the lot(s) to be subdivided and abutting lots showing all existing structures, building setbacks, and utility easements shall accompany the request for minor subdivision approval.
(B) Application and approval procedure. All applications for minor subdivisions shall be submitted to the City Clerk on the form provided by the Clerk. At a minimum, the application shall contain the following:
(1) Legal description of the property;
(2) A survey attached to the application showing proposed lots and abutting lots, and all existing structures, fences and building setbacks on lots; and
(3) A fee as set forth in the fee schedule shall accompany the application.
(4) Following review of the application, the Chief Building Official will provide his or her recommendation to the Mayor, who will approve or disapprove the application. In the event that the Mayor disapproves the application, the applicant may appeal to the City Council by filing a written notice appeal with the City Clerk within ten calendar days after receiving the notice of disapproval.
(5) Following approval of a minor subdivision the subdivider must file the survey and certificate of approval with the appropriate County Register of Deeds. The subdivider shall submit a copy of the recorded document of such filing to the City Clerk within 90 days of the date of approval or the document shall be null and void. Consideration will be given to a written request from the subdivider to the City Clerk to extend the filing date for 30 days.
(6) The City Clerk shall keep a complete and accurate record of all minor subdivision approvals.
