The following subdivisions may be exempted from the platting procedures described in Chapter 2 of this title:
A. Lot Line Adjustment. When owners of adjacent properties intend to modify the areas of the existing parcels while not creating an additional buildable lot, approval of a lot line adjustment can be requested.
1. The new legal descriptions for the properties are metes and bounds or simple, easily described division of two platted lots of record (for example, east ½ of lot 31, north 150 feet of lot 31);
2. The adjustment does not result in the creation of a new lot, does not make one of the lots large enough to be eligible for further subdivision, and does not make an unbuildable lot buildable; and
3. The resulting parcels meet all applicable ordinance requirements, except that if one of the parcels was previously non-conforming, it must become more conforming as a result of the subdivision.
B. Agricultural Lot Divisions: Lot divisions for single-family dwellings in the agricultural district may be exempted from platting requirements in accordance with the requirements of section 11-4-1 of this code.
C. Corrections: When a survey or description of a parcel or lot has been found to be inadequate to describe the actual boundaries, approval of a corrective plat may be requested. This type of subdivision creates no new lots or streets. The proposed corrective subdivision, in sketch plan form, along with a letter signed by both property owners agreeing to the new subdivision, shall be submitted to the council for approval. No hearing or commission review is necessary unless the proposal is referred to the commission by the planner for clarification. The proposed lots shall not cause any portion of the existing lots, parcel, or existing buildings to be in violation of this regulation or the zoning code. A certificate of survey may be required on any proposed lot with existing buildings in order to determine the placement of the building on the proposed lot. (Ord. B-91, 8-5-1997, eff. 8-11-1997; amd.
