Lot
When specified conditions occur, one existing
parcel of land may be divided into two lots using a simplified procedure
instead of a formal plat. This procedure, known as a lot split, is faster and
less costly to follow, but can only be used if all the criteria specified in
the subdivision regulations are followed.
The applicant shall meet with the Zoning
Administrator to receive an explanation of the lot split procedure, including
its requirements and limitations.
The lot split application shall be completely
filled out and returned to the Office of the City Engineer with the appropriate
fee. As a part of the application, four (4) copies of a scale drawing shall be
submitted showing the boundaries of the existing parcel; the location of all
structures; the precise nature of the proposed split; the legal description of
the lots to be formed; and the name, signature, and seal of the licensed engineer
or the registered land surveyor who prepared the drawing. An application shall
not be processed until it has been fully completed, the appropriate fee paid,
and all requested information submitted.
No building permit shall be issued for any
site which contains a division of a platted lot of record, unless such division
has been ratified in the manner provided in the subdivision regulations.
