[R.O. 2006 §400.090; CC 1985 §17-34]
Whenever the Planning Commission adopts a City plan or any part
thereof, no street or other public facilities or no public utility
whether publicly or privately owned and the location, extent and character
thereof having been included in the recommendations and proposals
of the plan or portions thereof shall be constructed or authorized
in the City until the location, extent and character thereof has been
submitted to and approved by the Commission. In case of disapproval,
the Commission shall communicate its reasons to the Board of Aldermen
and the Board by vote of not less than two-thirds (2/3) of its entire
membership may overrule the disapproval. Upon such overruling, the
Board of Aldermen or the appropriate board or officer may proceed,
except that if the public facility or utility is one the authorization
or financing of which does not fall within the province of the Board,
then the submission to the Planning Commission shall be by the Board
having jurisdiction and the Planning Commission's disapproval may
be overruled by that Board by a vote of not less than two-thirds (2/3)
of its entire membership. The acceptance, widening, removal, extension,
relocation, narrowing, vacation, abandonment, change of use, acquisition
of land for sale or lease of any street or other public facility is
subject to similar submission and approval and the failure to approve
may be similarly overruled. The failure of the Commission to act within
sixty (60) days after the date of official submission to it shall
be deemed approval.
[R.O. 2006 §400.100; CC 1985 §17-35]
After the Planning Commission adopts a City plan which includes
at least a major street plan or progresses in its City planning to
the making and adoption of a major street plan and files a certified
copy of the major street plan in the office of the Recorder of Deeds
of the County, no plat of a subdivision of land lying within the City
shall be filed or recorded until it has been submitted to and the
report and recommendation thereon made by the Commission to the Board
of Aldermen and the Board has approved the plat as provided by law.
[R.O. 2006 §400.110; CC 1985 §17-36; Ord. No. 22.70, 10-6-2022]
A.
Subdivision
regulations may include requirements as to the extent and manner in
which the streets of a subdivision or any designated portions thereto
shall be graded and improved as well as including requirements as
to the extent and manner of the installation of all utility facilities
and compliance with all these requirements is a condition precedent
to the approval of the plat. The regulations or practice of the Board
of Aldermen may provide for the tentative approval of the plat before
the improvements and installations, but any tentative approval shall
not be entered on the plat. The regulations may provide that, in lieu
of the completion of the work and installations before the final approval
of a plat, the Board of Aldermen may accept a bond in an amount and
with surety and conditions satisfactory to it providing for and securing
the actual construction and installation of the improvements and utilities
within a period specified by the Board of Aldermen and expressed in
the bond. The Board may enforce the bond by all appropriate, legal,
and equitable remedies. The regulations may provide, in lieu of the
completion of the work and installations before the final approval
of a plat, for an assessment or other method whereby the Board is
put in an assured position to do the work and make the installations
at the cost of the owners of the property within the subdivision.
The regulations may provide for the dedication, reservation or acquisition
of land and open spaces necessary for public uses indicated on the
City plan and for appropriate means for providing for the compensation,
including reasonable charges against the subdivision, if any, and
over a period and in a manner as is in the public interest.
B.
Before
adoption of its subdivision regulations or any amendment thereof,
the Board of Aldermen thereon shall hold a duly advertised public
hearing.
[R.O. 2006 §400.120; CC 1985 §17-37]
Within sixty (60) days after the submission of a plat to the
Planning Commission, the Commission shall approve or disapprove the
plat; otherwise the plat is deemed approved by the Commission, except
that the Commission, with the consent of the applicant for the approval,
may extend the sixty (60) day period. The ground of disapproval of
any plat by the Commission shall be made a matter of record.
[R.O. 2006 §400.130; Ord. No. 97.15 §1, 7-17-1997]

B.
Within
sixty (60) days after the receipt of such notification, the owner
or occupant or person in charge of a house or building to which a

visible from the roadway, numbers shall be affixed to a sign or number
post in such a way that the address can clearly be seen from the roadway.

upon affixing the new number to remove any other number(s) which might

D.
Each
principal building shall display the number assigned toward the street
on which the structure is addressed and adjacent to the entrance.
In case a principal building is occupied by more than one (1) business
or dwelling unit, each separate front entrance shall display a separate
address or unit number.
E.
Numbers
indicating the official address for each principal building or each
front entrance to such building shall be posted in a manner so as
to be legible and distinguishable from the street on which the property
is located, with numerals painted or applied of a contrasting color
to the background, of not less than three (3) inches in height in
residential areas, and not less than four (4) inches in height in
commercial areas. Script lettering or similar unconventional type
styles are not permitted. If a building or dwelling is situated in
such a way that the numbers cannot be easily seen from the roadway
in front of said structure, then a sign or number post must be installed
in front of the structure and placed in such a way that it is easily
seen from the roadway.
[R.O. 2006 §400.150; Ord. No. 97.15 §3, 7-17-1997]

herein within sixty (60) days after notification, or by failing, within
sixty (60) days to remove any old numbers affixed to such house, house
entrance, or elsewhere, which may be confused with the number assigned
hereto, shall be punishable by a fine of not less than ten dollars
($10.00) for each day that the violation exists.
