A. A lot
split is a legal subdivision of property into two (2) or more parcels
of real property. A lot split can be either a minor subdivision of
property or a major subdivision of property.

A minor lot split is any subdivision of real property where the result
is the creation of eight (8) or fewer lots.
a. Procedure for requesting a minor lot split.
(1)
An owner or developer of a piece of real property desiring a
minor lot split shall submit a lot split application along with the

accompanying plat documents to the Planning and Zoning Commission
(hereinafter referred to as "P & Z").
(2)
P & Z shall review the lot split application together with
the plat and make its recommendation to the Board of Alderpersons.
If the Board of Alderpersons approves the lot split application, the
approved plat may be filed with the Recorder of Deeds office in Hillsboro,
Missouri.
b. Lot split disposition form. The Board of Alderpersons
shall communicate its decision to the land owner or his/her representative
on a lot split disposition form. Neither said form nor a decision
of the Board of Alderpersons approving the subdivision split shall
constitute a permit to build on the affected lots.
c. Requirements for minor lot splits to become buildable.
(1)
Requirements where any lot included in the lot split is smaller
than one (1) acre: Before any lot which is smaller than one (1) acre
can become buildable, the owner of said lot shall submit a plan for
development which includes:

(b)
Storm water requirements or storm water basins if the same are
deemed necessary by an engineering review. Said review shall be at
owner's expense.
(c)
Sanitary sewers are required for all lots.
(d)
Storm sewers if they exist on any adjacent lot.
(e)
Sidewalks if they exist on any adjacent lot.
(2)
Requirements where all lots included in the lot split are one
(1) acre or larger: Before any lots which are one (1) acre or larger
can become buildable, the owner of said lot shall submit a plan for
development which includes:
(a)
Utility easements as established by existing zoning ordinances.
(b)
Storm water requirements or storm water basins if the same are
deemed necessary by an engineering review. Said review shall be at
