[CC 1985 § 27-1]
This Chapter shall be known as "The Subdivision Ordinance of
the City of Marshall, Missouri."
[CC 1985 § 27-2]
The purpose of this Chapter is to set forth rules and regulations
for the subdivision of real property so that each subdivision shall
be properly coordinated with existing streets, utilities, public facilities
and plans for developing these entities. In their interpretation and
application, the provisions of this Chapter shall be held to be the
minimum requirements adopted for the protection of the public health,
safety and welfare. To protect the public, among other purposes, such
provisions are intended to provide for permanently wholesome community
environment, adequate municipal services, safe streets and comprehensive
sound development of the City, both as to its present and future requirements.
[CC 1985 § 27-3]
There is hereby created a Subdivision and Development Advisory
Board, hereafter referred to in this Chapter as "Board," which will
consist of four (4) members, three (3) of whom shall be appointed
by the Mayor with the approval of the City Council, to serve at the
pleasure of the City Council. The Mayor shall be the fourth member
and shall serve as the Chairman of the Board.
[CC 1985 § 27-4; Ord. No. 6059 § 1, 2-4-1985]
A.
The proper installation of streets, sidewalks, street pavement,
curbs, curb and gutter and storm sewer facilities located in dedicated
rights-of-way or easements in new subdivisions shall be complete and
accepted by the City, or guaranteed by the furnishing by the subdivider
or his/her agent of surety for the proper installation of streets,
etc. If a surety bond, letter of credit or credit or demand note acceptable
to the City to guarantee the installation of streets, etc., is to
be issued, it shall be in favor of the City, and no building permit
shall be issued for any lot or tract in a subdivision which abuts
a street for which satisfactory surety has not been furnished. Construction
plans for such installation must be approved by the City before construction
begins. The subdivider shall not be permitted to cancel the surety
bond, letter of credit or demand note without the written permission
of the City. The amount of surety bond, letter of credit or demand
note shall be for a term of not less than one (1) year nor more than
two (2) years; however, upon completion by the subdivider and acceptance
by the City of the improvements before the expiration date of the
bond, letter of credit or demand note, it will be released by the
City.
B.
If, within a sixty-day period before the date of expiration
of the surety bond, such required installations do not meet the City's
specifications, the subdivider and the bonding company will be notified
by the City that the improvements do not meet the City's specifications,
and failure to bring said installations up to required standards before
the expiration date of the bond will result in the bond's being
forfeited to the City, and so much of the bond as may be necessary
to bring the streets up to specifications may be expended by the City,
and any excess of the bond shall be returned to the subdivider or
his/her bondsman according to the agreements therein contained.
