A. Submission And Fee: After completion of the procedure described in section 13-2-1 of this chapter, the owner shall submit to the Zoning Board of Appeals, through the Village Clerk, for examination and recommendation for approval or disapproval, a tentative plat of subdivision in septuplicate blueline prints. Upon filing the tentative plat with the Village Clerk, the owner shall pay a filing fee as set forth in the Village Fee Schedule, subsection 3-10-1G of this Code. The tentative plat shall meet the following requirements:
(1971 Code § 20-8; amd. 2019 Code)
1. Each tentative plat shall be drawn to the scale of not more than one hundred feet to one inch (1" = 100').
2. The tentative plat shall show the boundaries of the property to be subdivided and all of the following items which are located within the property or within two hundred feet (200') of its boundaries: existing or proposed easements and the nature thereof, section and half-section lines, existing sewer and water facilities, existing permanent buildings, and drainage structures and drainage courses.
3. Boundary lines of any Village, Township, Park District, School District or Sanitary District, and Forest Preserve District located within the subdivision or within two hundred feet (200') of the boundaries thereof shall be so designated.
4. Contour lines at intervals of not more than one foot (1') in accordance with the topographical map on file in the Office of the Village shall be shown for the area within the subdivision and within two hundred feet (200') of the boundaries thereof.
5. The widths of road pavements and dedications, streets and alleys; dimensions of lots and blocks, together with exact areas of each lot, shall be shown. The full width of streets bounding the proposed subdivision with their names and the widths and names of intersecting streets within two hundred feet (200') of the boundaries of the subdivision shall also be shown.
6. Provisions shall be made for direct connections with the existing streets in adjoining subdivisions or a statement of reasons shall be furnished as to why such provision is unnecessary.
7. All streets shall be dedicated and lot areas computed exclusive of street areas. Widths of all streets shall be not less than the widths shown in the Official Plan or as otherwise required by the Zoning Board of Appeals; provided, that no street other than an approved cul-de-sac shall be less than sixty feet (60') wide. A building setback line shall be shown conforming to the requirements of the Village zoning ordinance.
8. No block shall be more than one thousand three hundred twenty feet (1,320') long except where additional length shall be reasonably required to conform to parallel blocks in existing subdivisions. Nothing in this subsection A8, however, shall restrict the right of the Zoning Board of Appeals to require that blocks be platted for a lesser number of feet when, in their judgment, the same is required or advisable in view of traffic conditions and public convenience.
9. Where it is desirable to subdivide land which, because of its size or location, does not lend itself to development under the usual street pattern, and where the Zoning Board of Appeals deems it desirable in the public interest, access may be had to lots by means of cul-de-sac streets not less than fifty feet (50') wide terminating in turnarounds of circular shape with a minimum right-of-way diameter of one hundred feet (100'). Such cul-de-sac streets shall not exceed three hundred feet (300') in length.
10. All irregular lots shall have a minimum width of thirty feet (30') frontage at street lines and sixty feet (60') at the established building line. Double frontage lots are prohibited. All lots shall have a minimum depth of one hundred twenty five feet (125'). Interior lots shall be not less than fifty five feet (55') at the building line, and corner lots shall be sixty five feet (65') at the building line.
11. Where practicable, the side lines of all lots shall be approximately perpendicular to the street line.
12. The zoning classification of the property under the zoning ordinance, the north point, the scale, and the name, address and telephone number of the surveyor or land planner shall all be noted on the plat.
13. The name of the proposed subdivision and the name or names of the legal and beneficial owner or owners shall be shown.
14. Adequate provision shall be made for the dedication or reservation of land for parks, playgrounds, school sites or other public purposes; provided, however, that this subsection A14 shall not be construed to require dedication or reservation for said purposes of an area exceeding ten percent (10%) of the total area to be subdivided.
15. Additional information and provision for other requirements shall be shown to the extent deemed necessary by the Zoning Board of Appeals in any individual case.
(1971 Code § 20-8)
B. Approval Or Disapproval: Approval or disapproval of the tentative plat shall be granted by the Zoning Board of Appeals within thirty (30) days from the date of filing such plat with the Zoning Board of Appeals. The approval shall not constitute acceptance of the subdivision.
(1971 Code § 20-9)
