10.6 Simple Lot Subdivisions

Subject to this Chapter, an applicant may subdivide property by metes-andbounds into two or three lots or parcels without the necessity of recording a plat, provided that all proposed lots or parcels front a dedicated public street and comply with the applicable zone standards. This process shall be completed in the following manner: A. An applicant shall submit an application to the SRC for a simple lot subdivision that includes at a minimum: 1. The name of applicant or authorized agent and contact information; 2. A property address and parcel number; 3. The address for the subdivision; 4. The metes and bounds description of the property proposed to be split; 5. Any other information that may be requested by the SRC; 6. The subdivision name. B. Simple lot subdivisions shall not be approved until such time as the applicant provides utility hook-ups to each proposed lot or parcel. If the application does not result in a violation of a land use ordinance or an adverse development condition, the SRC shall approve the petition. C. The applicant shall not initially be required to install sidewalks for a simple lot subdivision; however, as part of the building permits process, the owner of the land must install sidewalks prior to an occupancy permit being issued. All other design standards set forth in this Chapter are not applicable to a simple lot subdivision unless specifically required by the SRC. D. The applicant may need approval from the Public Health Department on simple lot subdivisions if it is determined that the property is not serviced by the public sewer system.
