For the purpose of this subchapter, the following definitions apply unless the context clearly indicates or requires a different meaning.
BLOCK. An area of land within a subdivision that is entirely bounded by streets, exterior boundary lines of the subdivision and/or bodies of water.
FINAL PLAT. The final map and/or plan and/or record of a subdivision and any accompanying material presented material to the City Council for approval and which, if approved, will be duly filed with the county’s Register of Deeds. Said plat must conform to all state laws.
IMPROVEMENTS. The construction or installation of public or private utilities including, but not limited to, potable water, sanitary sewer systems, storm sewers, roads and other barricades, trees and other plantings, lighting, fuel or energy and the transmission thereof, transportation systems or facilities connected therewith and communication systems which are necessary, desirable or convenient in the maintenance of the health, safety and the general welfare.
LOT. A lot whose existence, location and dimensions have been legally recorded or registered in a deed or on a plat.
PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT (PUD). A self-contained development, sometimes with a mixture of housing types and densities, in which the subdivision and zoning controls are applied to the project as a whole rather than to individual lots, as in most subdivisions. Therefore, densities are calculated for the entire development, usually permitting a trade-off between clustering of houses and provision of common open space.
RIGHT-OF-WAY. An area or strip of land, either public or private, on which an irrevocable right of passage has been recorded for the use of vehicles or pedestrians or both.
