Editor's Note: The Osage Beach Design Guidelines are held on file in the City offices.
[R.O. 2006 §410.190; CC 1985 §22-61; Ord. No. 42.030 Art. IV §2, 5-10-1983; Ord. No. 00.19 §5, 6-1-2000; Ord. No. 23.74, 10-19-2023]
The City of Osage Beach Design Guidelines Section 5 (adopted 10-19-2023 by Ord. No. 23.74) and Section 6 (adopted 10-19-2023 by Ord. No. 23.74) are hereby adopted as the basic standards for the City of Osage Beach for roads, road cuts, and the other requirements therein within the City. Each and all of said Design Guidelines are hereby adopted by reference and made a part of this Article as if fully set out herein. One (1) copy of the Osage Beach Design Guidelines is on file in the office of the City Clerk.
[R.O. 2006 §410.200; CC 1985 §22-62; Ord. No. 42.030 Art. IV §1, 5-10-1983]
A. 
The arrangement of streets in new subdivisions shall make provisions for the continuation of the principle existing streets in adjoining areas (or their proper projection where adjoining land is not subdivided), insofar as they may be deemed necessary by the Commission for public requirements. Offset streets should be avoided. The angle of intersection between minor streets and major streets should not vary by more than ten degrees (10°) from a right angle. Streets obviously in alignment with existing streets shall bear the names of the existing streets.
B. 
All proposed street names should be checked against duplication of other street names. The widths and locations of major streets shall conform to the widths and locations designated on the comprehensive plan.
[R.O. 2006 §410.210; CC 1985 §22-63; Ord. No. 42.030 Art. IV §3, 5-10-1983]
A. 
The Commission shall confer with the subdivider regarding the type and character of development that will be permitted in the subdivision and may agree with the subdivider as to certain minimum restrictions to be placed upon the property.
B. 
Deed restrictions or covenants may be included to provide for the creation of a property owners' association or board of trustees for the proper protection and maintenance of the development in the future; provided however, that such deed restrictions or covenants shall not contain reversionary clauses wherein any lot shall return to the subdivider because of a violation thereon of the terms of the restrictions or covenants.
C. 
Where the subdivision contains sewers, sewage treatment plants, water supply systems, park areas, street trees or other physical facilities necessary or desirable for the welfare of the community, and which are of common use or benefit and are not or cannot be satisfactorily maintained by an existing public agency, provision shall be made by trust agreement, made a part of the deed restrictions acceptable to any agency having jurisdiction over the location and improvement of such facilities, for the proper and continuous maintenance and supervision of such facilities.
[R.O. 2006 §410.220; CC 1985 §22-64; Ord. No. 42.030 Art. IV §4, 5-10-1983]
Where an area being subdivided includes lands proposed to be used for parks or schools, under the duly adopted comprehensive plan of the City and environs, the subdivider shall not plat such lands as a part of the subdivision plat; and shall confer with the appropriate public agency regarding the time, method and amount of payment for the agency to acquire the land. If no agreement has been reached upon the acquisition of the area within five (5) years from the date of the submission of the preliminary plan, the subdivider may then plat the balance of the area.
[R.O. 2006 §410.230; CC 1985 §22-65; Ord. No. 42.030 Art. IV §5, 5-10-1983]
Whenever any stream or important surface drainage course is located in an area, which is being subdivided, the subdivider shall provide an adequate easement along each side the stream for the purpose of widening, deepening, sloping, improving, or protecting the stream or drainage course.
[R.O. 2006 §410.240; CC 1985 §22-66; Ord. No. 42.030 Art. V §6, 5-10-1983; Ord. No. 96.01 §1, 2-15-1996; Ord. No. 96.47 §1, 11-21-1996]
A. 
No subdivision shall be approved unless the area to be subdivided shall have frontage on and access from an existing street. All lots within a subdivision shall have at least one (1) boundary adjacent to a street or road approved by the City for public use, except that private easements or streets may be permitted when the lot is in agricultural or residential district and is three (3) acres or larger, no more than two (2) of which may be served by any single drive or easement, or the property and subdivision are part of a planned unit development (PUD) allowing private streets, or the street serves a legally established condominium development and a copy of the maintenance provisions are filed with the Planning Department. Private streets as described herein shall be constructed to meet the minimum base and surface requirements as described in this Code of Ordinances of the City of Osage Beach.
B. 
Double frontage and reversed frontage lots shall be avoided except where necessary to provide separation of residential development from arterial streets or to overcome specific topographic and/or orientation constraints.
C. 
Access From Major And Secondary Arterial Streets. Access from major and secondary arterial streets shall be limited. Lots shall not, in general, derive access exclusively from a major or secondary street. Where driveway access from major or secondary street may be necessary for several adjoining lots, the Planning Commission may require that such lots be served by a combined access drive in order to limit possible traffic hazards on said street. Where possible, driveways shall be designed and arranged so as to avoid requiring vehicles to back into traffic on major and secondary arterials.
[R.O. 2006 §410.245; Ord. No. 92.24 §2, 10-22-1992]
A. 
Flag lots will be allowed for lots that contain a minimum of twenty thousand (20,000) square feet. Flag lots of lesser area may be approved by the Planning Commission.
B. 
The access portion of each flag lot shall have a minimum width of forty (40) feet.
C. 
Flag lots shall not be further subdivided into additional lots unless a public road is constructed to City standards.
D. 
No more than two (2) flag lots may have adjoining driveway entrances to a public right-of-way.
E. 
The front building line for flag lots shall be established on both the access portion and on the building site portion of the lot in accord with provisions of the particular zoning district.
F. 
A flag lot may be approved by the Planning Commission if the area is totally surrounded by land in other ownership or no other possibility exists.
G. 
The access portion of each flag lot shall provide access to only one (1) lot.
[R.O. 2006 §410.250; Ord. No. 97.24 §2, 8-21-1997]
A. 
Subdivisions generally shall be designed to be internally accessed by local streets from arterial and collector streets. Residential lots shall not derive direct access or front on arterial streets. Residential lots fronting on collector streets shall be permitted where one (1) or more of the following provisions existed in the unsubdivided parcel:
1. 
The frontage along the collector is less than two hundred fifty (250) feet;
2. 
The depth of the tract is less than two hundred fifty (250) feet; and
3. 
The size of the tract is less than two (2) acres.
[R.O. 2006 §410.260; CC 1985 §22-67; Ord. No. 22.67 §1, 1-7-1992]
A. 
In order to provide for orderly development and to provide adequate room for location of present and future utilities, current utilities shall be located as follows:
1. 
Electric, telephone, water and cable shall be located within four (4) feet of the northernmost or western most right-of-way line.
2. 
Sewer lines shall be located within two (2) feet of the southernmost or easternmost right-of-way line.
B. 
Paved roadways shall be located as close to the center of the right-of-way as possible.
C. 
Waivers of this provision may be made in the case of very unusual geographical conditions by the Planning Commission.
