(A) A subdivision shall be classified as a minor subdivision if the Zoning Inspector determines that the proposed subdivision of land:
(1) Adjoins an existing public street and does not involve opening, widening, extension or improvement of any roadway or the installation of any public utilities;
(2) Creates no more than five lots;
(3) Does not adversely affect adjoining tracts of land; and
(4) Complies with the applicable zoning regulations of the city.
(B) If the subdivision is classified as a minor subdivision, only such drawings and information as is determined necessary by the Zoning Inspector to determine compliance with pertinent platting, zoning and other regulations need to be submitted for approval. In determining compliance with these standards, the Zoning Inspector may seek input from other departments of the city. If the public water and sewer is not available, the application materials must contain approval of the County Board of Health. The Zoning Inspector shall submit the application for a minor subdivision to the Chairperson of the Planning and Zoning Board, along with a recommendation for approval or disapproval.
(C) The Chairperson of the Planning and Zoning Board may approve or disapprove said minor subdivision by indicating upon the preliminary plan “Approved (Disapproved) City of Wellston Planning and Zoning Board”. One copy of the preliminary plan, with such notation thereon, shall be retained for the files of the Planning and Zoning Board.
(D) After approval of a minor subdivision by the Chairperson of the Planning and Zoning Board, the owner/applicant may submit a deed or deeds describing lots by metes and bounds, which shall conform to the approved preliminary plan. The Chairperson of the Planning and Zoning Board shall approve such conveyances if they conform to the preliminary plan by noting on said deed or deeds “Approved, City of Wellston Planning and Zoning Board”.
