[CC 1986 § 43.010]
These regulations shall apply to all subdivisions of land, and
resubdivisions of land, located within the incorporated areas of the
City of Edgerton. No building permit shall be issued for any parcel
of land which was created by a subdivision of land after the effective
date of these regulations, not in conformity with the provisions of
these regulations.
[CC 1986 § 43.020]
No plat of a subdivision of land or resubdivision of land in
the City of Edgerton, Missouri, shall be effective until approved

[CC 1986 § 43.030]
A.
Before any subdivision plat is signed or approved, all applicants
shall be required to either complete all street, sanitary, and other
improvements, including installation of water lines, fire hydrants,
and sidewalks, and to dedicate all such improvements to the City free
and clear of all liens and encumbrances, or the Board may, in its
discretion, waive the requirements that the applicant complete and
dedicate all public improvements prior to the signing of the subdivision
plat and, as an alternative, the applicant post the bond at the time
of application for Board approval of his/her plat, in an amount estimated
by the Board of Aldermen as sufficient to secure to the City the satisfactory
construction, installation and dedication of the incomplete portion
of the required improvements. Such performance bond shall comply with
the requirements of Section 89.410, RSMo., and shall be satisfactory
to the City Attorney as to form, sufficiency and manner of execution.
The period within which required improvements must be completed shall
be specified by the Board of Aldermen in the resolution approving
the subdivision plat and shall be incorporated in the bond and shall
not in any event exceed two (2) years from the date of approval.
B.
All required improvements shall be made by the applicant at his/her
expense, without reimbursement by the City.
C.
The performance bond shall not be released until certification by
the City Engineer that all improvements have been completed, are ready
for dedication to the City, are free and clear of any and all liens
and encumbrances, and that the applicant has supplied the City Engineer
with a detailed as-built survey plat of the subdivision indicating
location, dimensions, construction materials and the dimensions and
other information required by the City Engineer of the layout of the
line and grade of all public improvements.
D.
The applicant shall be required to maintain all improvements in the
subdivision, including snow removal of streets and sidewalks, water
line repairs, and all other maintenance until acceptance of said improvements
by the Board of Aldermen.
E.
Where a performance bond has been required for a subdivision, no
certificate of occupancy for any building in the subdivision shall
be issued prior to the completion of the improvements and dedication
of same to the City. No building permits shall be issued for the final
ten percent (10%) of lots in the subdivision or the final two (2)
lots of the subdivision, whichever is greater in number, until all
public improvements required have been fully completed and dedicated
to the City in accordance with this Chapter.
[CC 1986 § 43.040]
A.
No subdivision shall be approved unless the area to be subdivided
shall have frontage on and access from an existing street. Where an
existing half street is adjacent to a new subdivision, the other half
of the street shall be improved and dedicated by the subdivider. Where
a subdivision borders an existing narrow road, the subdivider shall
be required to improve and dedicate at his/her expense such areas
for widening or realignment of such roads. Such frontage roads and
access roads shall be improved and dedicated by the developer at his/her
own expense to the full width as required by these regulations. The
developer shall provide at his/her sole expense paved access from
the proposed subdivision to a route designated by the Board of Aldermen
as a primary arterial route. Such access shall be improved to the
full extent of these regulations and the existing width of the right-of-way.
B.
All roads shall consist of a minimum of a right-of-way width of fifty
(50) feet, and the minimum width of paved area shall be twenty-six
(26) feet.
C.
All new streets shall be paved with a minimum of four (4) inches
of base asphalt, and two (2) inches of surface asphalt for a total
depth of six (6) inches of asphalt. Wherever these regulations specify
pavement on existing roads or streets, the pavement material shall
be asphalt, and shall be applied at a minimum depth of three (3) inches
of surface asphalt.
D.
All roads shall be shouldered so as to drain water from the paved
portion of the roadway.
[CC 1986 § 43.050]
The Board of Aldermen may, in its discretion, require the developer
to install sidewalks for pedestrian travel along one (1) side of the
street.
[CC 1986 § 43.060]
Expansion of the City's water supply distribution system shall
be at the sole expense of developer, and shall be done in accordance
with the rules and regulations of the City governing its water supply
distribution system. In addition to those rules and regulations, developer
shall install standard fire hydrants for fire protection, at intervals
of not greater than five hundred (500) feet.
No owner, or agent of the owner, of any land located within
the platting jurisdiction of the City, knowingly or with intent to
defraud, may transfer, sell, agree to sell, or negotiate to sell that
land by reference to or by other use of a plat of any purported subdivision
of the land before the plat has been approved by the Board of Aldermen
or Planning and Zoning Commission and recorded in the office of the
Platte County Recorder unless the owner or agent shall disclose in
writing that such plat has not been approved by such Board or Planning
and Zoning Commission and the sale is contingent upon the approval
of such plat by such Board of Aldermen or Planning and Zoning Commission.
Any person violating the provisions of this Section shall forfeit
and pay to the City a penalty not to exceed three hundred dollars
($300.00) for each lot transferred or sold or agreed or negotiated
to be sold; and the description by metes and bounds in the instrument
of transfer or other document used in the process of selling or transferring
shall not exempt the transaction from this penalty. The City may enjoin
or vacate the transfer or sale or agreement by legal action, and may
recover the penalty in such action.
