Minor Subdivisions. If the plat does not include more than three (3) lots, each of which have frontage on existing streets, does not require any new streets, the extension of City facilities, the creation of any public improvements or the vacation of any streets, alleys or easements, it is classified as a minor subdivision and the subdivider may proceed in accordance with the requirements of these regulations pertaining to minor subdivisions.
C. 
Lot Splits (Resubdivisions). Whenever a resubdivision of an established and legally approved or recorded subdivision lot is proposed, i.e, a lot split, the subdivider shall file an application for a lot split and comply with the provisions of these regulations pertaining to lot splits.

2. 
The designation of either a major or minor subdivision will be established at the pre-filing review meeting between the applicant and the Enforcement Officer.
E. 
Reclassification Of Minor Subdivisions. The development of successive minor subdivisions by the same owner or developer or by a person in privity with the owner or developer, so as to circumvent the requirements of these regulations with respect to major subdivisions shall be prohibited. Whenever a minor subdivision is developed from the same general tract of land as a previously developed minor subdivision or where successive minor subdivisions are developed so as to constitute a major subdivision within the meaning of these regulations, the Planning Commission shall treat the entire development as a major subdivision and require adherence to the provisions of these regulations pertaining to major subdivisions.
F. 
Official Submission Dates. For the purpose of these regulations, the date of the regular meeting of the Planning Commission at which the public hearing on final approval of the subdivision plat, including any adjourned date thereof, is closed, shall constitute the official submittal date of the plat at which the sixty (60) day period required by Section 89.420, RSMo., for formal approval or disapproval of the plat will commence.
[Ord. No. 976 §2.2, 11-25-1997]

The Enforcement Officer shall also advise the applicant, where appropriate, to discuss the proposed subdivision with those officials who must eventually approve aspects of the subdivision plat coming within their jurisdiction.
B. 
Classification. Classification of the proposed subdivision shall be made by the Enforcement Officer at the pre-filing conference. The subdivider shall proceed in accordance with Section 410.190 of these regulations if the subdivision is classified as a minor subdivision, or if classified as a major subdivision, the subdivider must file an application for approval of a preliminary plat before filing for final subdivision plat approval.

C. 
Sectionalizing Major Subdivision Plats. Prior to granting final approval of a major subdivision plat, the Planning Commission may permit the plat to be divided into two (2) or more sections and may impose such conditions upon the filing of the sections as it may deem necessary to assure the orderly development of the plat. The Planning Commission shall require that the performance bond be in such amount as is commensurate with the section or sections of the plat to be filed and may defer the remaining required performance bond principal amount until the remaining sections of the plat are offered for filing. The developer may also file irrevocable offers to dedicate streets and public improvements in the sections offered to be filed and defer filing offers of dedication for the remaining sections until such sections, subject to any conditions imposed by the Planning Commission, shall be granted concurrently with the final approval of the plat. In the event of approval of sectionalizing the entire approved subdivision plat including all sections shall be filed within ninety (90) days after date of final approval with the City Clerk's office and such sections as have been authorized by the Planning Commission shall be filed with the Platte County Recorder of Deeds. Such section must contain at least ten percent (10%) of the total number of lots contained in the approved plat. The approval of all remaining sections not filed with the Platte County Recorder of Deeds shall automatically expire unless such sections have been approved for filing by the Planning Commission, all fees paid, all instruments and offers of dedication submitted and performance bonds approved and actually filed with the Platte County Recorder of Deeds within three (3) years of the date of final approval of the subdivision plat.
