(A) Purpose; intent. The purpose of a minor subdivision is to provide a simplified review and approval procedure for certain land divisions. Minor subdivisions require primary and secondary approval, in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Seymour Plan Commission Rules of Procedure.
(B) Applicability. A proposed subdivision may be processed under the provisions of this section if there will be no opening of new public ways and the subdivision complies in all respects with the provisions of this chapter. The minor subdivision procedure may be used to create no more than four lots from a single parent tract over any period of time. Additional lots will require submission of a major subdivision.
(C) Filing.
(1) An application for approval of a minor subdivision shall be filed with the office of the Building Commissioner on forms specified by that office.
(2) Applications for minor subdivisions shall contain all required materials as specified in the Plan Commission Rules of Procedure.
(D) Amendment. If the applicant desires to make changes to a minor subdivision that has received primary approval from the Plat Committee, the applicant shall follow the same procedure as for the initial approval.
(E) Appeal. A final decision of the Plan Committee may be appealed to the Plan Commission in accordance with the provisions of I.C. 36-7-4-700 et seq. or other applicable law or statute. In accordance with I.C. 36-7-4-708, any appeal must be filed in writing within 10 days after the notice of Plat Committee action is mailed to interested parties.
(F) Recording. The approved drawing of the minor plat must be recorded in the office of the Jackson County Recorder within the time limit established in § 156.41, or the approval will be null and void.
