A. 
Intent. The intent of this Article is to provide for the subdivision of a tract or parcel into not more than four (4) lots, including any remainder proposed to be retained by the owner, further provided that the subdivision satisfies the conditions set forth in Subsection (B).

No new streets or easements are needed or proposed.
2. 
No vacation of streets, alleys, easements, setback lines or access control is needed or proposed.
3.

8. 
The subdivision will not result in significant increases in utilities and services levels or will interfere with maintaining existing utilities and service (e.g. traffic control, street maintenance, etc.).

If circumstances warrant, the Board of Aldermen may grant an exception and approve a minor subdivision to be accessed by a private drive subject to the following conditions:
1. 
No more than three (3) lots will be created that take access from the private drive.
2. 
The private drive will be located in a permanent ingress/egress easement with a minimum width of thirty (30) feet. The easement should generally be centered on or adjacent to lot lines.
3. 
The applicant shall provide for restrictive covenants governing the use and maintenance of the private drive.
