§ 18-200. Further partitioning of lots; petition; notice.

(a)

No lots which encompass lands located in the city shall be further partitioned unless such partition is conducted in accordance with the provisions of this section. When an owner desires to partition a lot, that owner shall file a petition with the city clerk which shall contain the following:

(1)

The exact legal description of the lot to be partitioned;

(2)

A description of all improvements located on said lot;

(3)

All proposed new boundary lines which will be in effect if the lot is partitioned;

(4)

A statement of the reasons for requesting approval to partition the lot; and

(5)

Proof of payment of any due but unpaid tax liability.

(b)

In the event that there are improvements of any nature, the owner shall submit with the petition a survey of the lot which he proposes to partition. The survey shall set forth to scale all improvements located thereon, including measurements between all improvements or between improvements and the boundary lines of said lot, as then constituted.

(c)

Prior to any action taken by the planning commission the city clerk shall certify that a notice of the proposed division was mailed to all affected adjoining or adjacent parcels of property not owned by the applicant which may be affected by the proposed division. The city may, by resolution, require the payment of a fee to cover the cost associated with the notice requirements contained within this subsection.
