(A) A minor subdivision requires the submittal of a plat prepared by a licensed land surveyor and duly signed and sealed prior to submission attesting to the legal boundary descriptions and the monumenting of property corners of all lots (existing and created).
(B) The minor subdivision plat shall include the information cited in § 154.038. Prior to submission of the plat, the subdivider is encouraged to obtain the certifications of access, sewage disposal, potable water and stormwater drainage. The plat will be accepted for processing by the Area Plan Commission without these four certifications; and the Area Plan Commission staff will forward the plat to the appropriate agencies for these three certifications. Prior to submission of the plat, the subdivider is also encouraged to obtain the signatures of all abutting property owners stating their approval (or no objection to Area Plan Commission approval of the plat). The plat will be accepted for processing by the Area Plan Commission without abutting property owner signature. However, the subdivider shall (within seven days of the filing) send out notifications to abutting property owners of their right to voice objections to the Subdivision Review Committee and then to appeal to the full Area Plan Commission within ten days notify, and shall file an affidavit within ten days with the Area Plan Commission verifying the notification. If any abutting property owner requests the review of an objection by the Subdivision Review Committee, the review by the Subdivision Review Committee shall be scheduled; if not, the Executive Director may certify (approve) the plat for recording provided the plat and affidavit are in order. If any party appeals to the full Area Plan Commission after the review by the Subdivision Review Committee, a public hearing will be scheduled before the full Area Plan Commission; after the public hearing, the Area Plan Commission may approve or deny the subdivision stating the conditions for denial. If approved, the President and Executive Director of the Area Plan Commission may certify (approve) the plat for recording provided the plat and affidavit are in order.
(C) The minor subdivision plat shall be submitted on a reproducible piece of paper (with original signatures) drawn to a scale no larger than one inch equals 200 feet plus six copies and a read-only electronic version of the plat.
