(a) Conformance to Applicable Rules and Regulations. In addition to the requirements established herein, all subdivision plats shall comply with the following laws, rules and regulations:
(1) All applicable statutory provisions.
(2) The City Zoning Ordinance, Building and Housing Codes, and all other applicable laws of the appropriate jurisdictions.
(3) The Official Master Plan, Official Map, Public Utilities Plan and Capital Improvements Program of the local government, including all streets, drainage systems and parks shown on the Official Map or Master Plan as adopted.
(4) The special requirements of these Regulations and any rules of the Health Department and/or appropriate state agencies.
(5) The rules of the State Highway Department if the subdivision or any lot contained therein abuts a State highway or connecting street.
(6) The standards and regulations adopted by all boards, commissions, agencies and officials of the City.
(7) Plat approval may be withheld if a subdivision is not in conformity with the above guides or policy and purpose of these Regulations established in Section 1351.04.
(b) Self-Imposed Restrictions. If the owner places restrictions on any of the land contained in the subdivision greater than those required by the Zoning Ordinance or these Regulations, such restrictions or reference thereto may be required to be indicated on the subdivision plat, or the Planning Commission may require that restrictive covenants be recorded with the County Clerk.
(c) Plats Straddling Municipal Boundaries. Whenever access to the subdivision is required across land in another local government, the Planning Commission may request assurance from that attorney that access is legally established, and from that City Engineer that the access road is adequately improved, or that a performance bond has been duly executed and is sufficient in amount to assure the construction of the access road. In general, lot lines should be laid out so as not to cross municipal boundary lines.
(d) Character of the Land. Land which the Planning Commission finds to be unsuitable for subdivision or development due to flooding, improper drainage, steep slopes, rock formations or topography, utility easement, or other features which will reasonably be harmful to the safety, health and general welfare of the present or future inhabitants of the subdivision and/or its surrounding areas, shall not be subdivided or developed unless adequate methods are formulated by the developer and approved by the Planning Commission to solve the problems created by the unsuitable land conditions. Such land shall be set aside for uses as shall not involve such a danger.
(e) Subdivision Name. The proposed name of the subdivision shall not duplicate, or too closely approximate phonetically, the name of any other subdivision in the area covered by these Regulations. The Planning Commission shall have final authority to designate the name of the subdivision which shall be determined at sketch plan approval.
(f) Monuments, Markers and Pins.
(1) Monuments shall be placed at all block corners, angle points, points of curves in streets and at intermediate points as shall be required by the County Surveyor or the City. The monuments shall be of such material, size and length as may be approved by the County Surveyor or the City.
(2) Iron pins shall be placed at all lot corners and lot line angles and such other points as required by the County Surveyor or the City. The pins shall be of such size and length as approved by the County Surveyor or the City.
