No building permits shall be issued unless either the building
official for the city has determined that the location is in substantial
compliance with the subdivision ordinance or the city council has
granted a variance. No building permit shall be issued until construction
of the improvements required by this article have been substantially
completed or performance guarantees have been authorized and secured.
(Ordinance 1419, sec. 9.801, adopted 8/24/10)
(a) The approval of any plat or replat shall not be deemed an acceptance
of the proposed dedications and shall not impose any duty upon the
city concerning the maintenance or improvement of any such proposed
dedications until the city council shall have made an official acceptance
of dedication of the improvements. If any such plan, plat, or replat
is disapproved by the city council, such disapproval shall be deemed
as a refusal by the city of the offered dedication shown thereon.
(b) After construction is completed, the developer may request an inspection
by the city engineer who will make a written certificate of completion
recommendation to the city council concerning the acceptance of the
subdivision. In no case will the city council consider the acceptability
of a subdivision without the engineer’s certificate of completion.
(Ordinance 1419, sec. 9.802, adopted 8/24/10)
All person or entities desiring to receive utilities from the
city must request annexation of property to be served into the city.
The city council may grant an exception to the annexation requirement
if there is a legal impediment to annexation, e.g. the property is
not contiguous to current city limit or if it determined that costs
to the city associated with annexation outweighs the benefits that
would accrue to the city. The request for annexation shall be irrevocable
and, if in the future, the legal impediment to annexation is removed,
the city may proceed with annexation.
