A.
Comprehensive Plan — Compliance. The subdivision layout
shall conform to the Official Thoroughfare Plan or other elements
of the Comprehensive Plan. Whenever a tract to be subdivided embraces
any part of a highway, thoroughfare or other major collector street
so designated on said Plan, such part of such public way shall be
platted by the developer in the location and at the width indicated
in the Plan.
B.
Lot Dimensions, Shapes And Position. The size, shape, and orientation
of lots shall be appropriate for the location and physical character
of the proposed subdivision and for the type of development contemplated
in compliance with this Chapter.
1. Minimum lot width shall be measured at the building
setback line. In addition, corner lots should have a width fifteen
(15) feet greater than the minimum width.
2. Minimum lot depth shall be measured through the
center of the lot and shall be perpendicular to the property line
or radial to the property line on curved streets.
3. The maximum depth of residential lots shall not
exceed three (3) times the width thereof.
4. Minimum lot area shall be subject to the zoning
regulations of the district in which the subdivision is located and
the minimum design standards of this regulation. The more restrictive
of the regulations shall govern.
5. All side lot lines shall bear between sixty degrees
(60°) and ninety degrees (90°) from the street right-of-way
line on a straight street or from the tangent of a curved street.
6. Double frontage lots shall be avoided unless, in
the opinion of the Planning Commission, a variation to this rule will
give better street alignment and lot arrangement.
7. Every lot shall abut on a public street other than
an alley.
8. Where possible, residential lots should not face
on arterial streets. The number of lots facing on collector streets
shall be kept to a minimum in each subdivision. The street pattern
shall be designed so that the side lines of lots abut collector streets
wherever land shapes and topography permit.
9. Corner Lots.
a. Orientation And Access. A corner lot shall require
orientation of the front facade of the structure to and vehicular
access from the abutted street with a lower classification; the structure
shall be oriented to and take access from the same property line.
b. Setback Determination. The property line from which
access is taken and to which the structure is oriented shall be considered
the front lot line for the purposes of determining setbacks; frontage
to a right-of-way intersecting that right-of-way abutting the front
lot line shall be considered side lot lines for the purposes of determining
setbacks.

A.
All improvements required under these regulations shall be constructed
in accordance with the specifications and under the supervision of
the official having jurisdiction in the manner prescribed.
B.
In order to protect the health, safety and general welfare of the people, the Planning and Zoning Commission will reject any proposed subdivision with structures proposed to be located within floodplains, as identified in Section
440.040, without complying with all applicable provisions of Chapter
440.
C.
Whenever a subdivision is proposed to be located in an area
having poor drainage, or other adverse physical characteristics and
impairment, the Planning and Zoning Commission may approve the plat
provided the developer binds himself legally to make such improvements
as, in the judgement of the Planning and Zoning Commission, will render
the subdivision substantially safe and otherwise acceptable for the
intended use.
D.
In order to insure proper development of the subdivision, completion
of improvements, utilities and streets in accordance with the requirements
of this Chapter, the developer shall post with the Commission a surety
performance bond or letter of credit, running to the City of Kimberling
City, written by a professional bonding company or other surety acceptable
to the Planning and Zoning Commission, sufficient to cover the cost
of such improvements as estimated by the officials having jurisdiction.
E.
All work in connection with the requirements outlined in this
Section shall be completed within eighteen (18) months from the date
of approval of the subdivision by the Board of Aldermen of the City
of Kimberling City. Unless an extension in time is granted by the
Board of Aldermen of the City of Kimberling City; otherwise the performance
bond or other such security shall be paid to the City which may then
arrange to complete the required work from the bond proceeds. No structures
within the subdivision may be occupied until the subdivision improvements
are substantially completed. In this case, substantial completion
shall mean seventy-five percent (75%) of the improvements have been
finished.

street right-of-way width established by these regulations and/or
by the policy of the Board of Aldermen; and the subdivider of such
proposed subdivision shall provide an additional roadway pavement
meeting the minimum standards set by these regulations and the Board
of Aldermen. The Board of Aldermen shall determine what adjustment
to make where the aforesaid widening merges with existing streets

preserve the natural surface drainage pattern unique to each site
as a result of topography and vegetation. Grading shall be designed
to ensure that drainage flows away from all structures, especially

said requirements as determined by the Board of Aldermen upon its
consideration of the opinion of the Administrative Officer, the subdivider
shall provide for the repair, correction or replacement of such improvements
so that all final improvements will then meet said requirements as
determined by the Board of Aldermen upon its consideration of the
opinion of the Administrative Officer. The regulations shall not apply
