Section 36-59. Purpose.
The purpose of these regulations is to provide for the
division of a lot within a subdivision into not more than
two (2) lots or tracts without having to comply with the
platting requirements described in these regulations. An
existing platted lot may be divided or split into not more
than two (2) parts which singularly or combined with an
adjoining lot or part of a lot results in two (2) building
lots which meet the minimum size and area requirements of
the zoning district in which the lots are located. Any
further division of the new lots shall require replatting in
accordance with the requirements described in these
regulations.
Section 36-60. Application procedure and requirements.
A written application for a split shall be made to the
Planning Department. Each application shall be submitted
with three (3) copies of a plot plan, certified by a
licensed land surveyor at a scale of one inch (1") equals
thirty (30) feet or less and shall contain the following
information:
(a) Location of the existing lot within the subdivision as
related to the nearest existing streets;
(b) Location of existing easements and utilities;
(c) Dimensions of the divided portions of the lot;
(d) Location and width of driveways or accessways,
existing and proposed;
(e) Dimensions of all existing structures and their
locations with respect to the existing lot lines;
(f) Signature of the owner(s); and
(g) Legal description(s) of the property(ies).
Section 36-61. Planning staff review.
Upon receipt of the application, the Planning
Department shall review it for compliance with the Zoning
and Subdivision Regulations. If the application and the
plot plan comply with all applicable regulations, the lot
split shall be approved by the Planning Department and shall
bear the signature of the Planning Director. The applicant
shall file the approved lot split with the Saline County
Register of Deeds. A copy of the filed request must be
returned to the Planning Department, who will make and
distribute additional copies to the Building Official, City
Clerk and City Engineer.
,Sw.
Section 36-62. Approval standards.
The division of lots pursuant to this chapter shall
comply with the Comprehensive Plan, any major street and
road plans, applicable zoning ordinance requirements,
these regulations and all other applicable regulations. No
lot split shall be approved if:
(a) A new street or alley is needed or proposed;
(b) There is less street right-of-way than required by this
chapter;
(c) Any easement requirements have not been satisfied or
existing easements would have to be modified to
accommodate the proposed lot split;
(d) The lot splits will result in a tract without frontage
on a public street or approved private street;
(e) A lot or parcel of substandard size will be created,
except where a lot split will result in the
substandard -sized portion being recombined with an
adjoining standard -sized, platted lot and where this
recombination is duly filed and recorded with the Saline
County Register of Deeds; or
(f) The lot split will result in a substantial increase in
service requirements (e.g. utilities, drainage, traffic
control, street improvements, etc.) and will constitute a
significant deviation from the basis upon which approval of
the original plat was granted.
Section 36-63. Building permits.
No building permit shall be issued for any site which
contains a division of a platted lot of record, unless such
division has been approved in the manner provided by this
chapter.
Sections 36-64 - 36-70. Reserved."
