The following process shall be followed for minor subdivisions:
(A) Minor subdivisions according to § 154.035(B) and (C). Upon receipt of the completed application and required informational submissions, the Zoning Administrator shall set a date for review of the minor subdivision by the Planning Commission and notice a public hearing. Written notice shall be mailed by the Zoning Administrator, or its designee, to the applicant and all landowners abutting the subject property of the minor subdivision, at least ten days before the Planning Commission considers the application. The notice shall contain a brief description of the minor subdivision sought, along with notice of the date, time, and place of the Planning Commission meeting wherein the minor subdivision will be considered. Failure of the Zoning Administrator to comply with the notice provisions of this section shall not affect the validity of any subsequent proceedings. Before a minor subdivision shall be recorded or be of any validity, it shall be referred to the Planning Commission for review and recommendation, then forwarded to the City Council for consideration and final approval.
(B) Minor subdivisions according to § 154.035(A): lot combinations and adjustment of a lot line by the relocation of a common boundary and (D) administrative lot splits. The Zoning Administrator shall review the application and required informational submissions to determine conformance with the zoning and subdivision ordinances. The Zoning Administrator shall have the authority to make a final decision on the application. The Planning Commission shall serve as the Board of Adjustment and Appeals if the application for minor subdivision is denied by the Zoning Administrator.
(C) Expiration of approval for minor subdivisions, lot combinations, lot line adjustments, and administrative lot splits. City approval for a minor subdivision, lot combination, lot line adjustment, or administrative lot split shall become null and void if, within 365 days after such approval by the City Council, the minor subdivision, lot combination, lot line adjustment, or administrative lot split has not been duly filed and recorded with the Wright County Recorder's Office. An extension from this requirement may be granted by the City Council upon the city's receipt of a request for extension. A request for an extension shall be in writing and filed with the city at least 14 days before the voidance of the approved minor subdivision, lot combination, lot line adjustment, or administrative lot split. There shall be no charge for the filing of such request. The request for extension shall state facts showing a good faith attempt was made to meet the recording requirement.
