This ordinance shall be known, cited, and referred to as “The Land Subdivision Regulations” of the City of Pineland.
(Ordinance adopting Code)
Article 974a, Vernon’s Revised Civil Statutes, and any amendments thereto are hereby adopted, and the provisions of this ordinance are adopted in exercise of power granted to municipalities by such statute.
(Ordinance adopting Code)
This ordinance is to provide for the harmonious development of the City of Pineland and its environs; for the coordination of streets within subdivisions with other existing or planned streets or with other features of the comprehensive plan for access to and extension of public utility facilities; for adequate open spaces for traffic, recreation, light and air; and for the distribution of population and traffic which will tend to create conditions favorable to health, safety, morals, and the general welfare of the City of Pineland, hereinafter referred to as the city.
(Ordinance adopting Code)
Hereafter, before any plan, plat, or replat of a subdivision or addition of land inside the city or within one-half (½) mile of the city limits thereof shall be recorded with the county clerk, it shall be first approved by the city planning and zoning commission in conformance with the provisions of this ordinance. No transfer of land in the nature of a subdivision as defined herein, shall be exempt from the provisions of this ordinance even though the instrument or document of transfer may describe land so subdivided by metes and bounds. The filing of any plan, plat, or replat without complying with the requirements of this ordinance, or the transfer of land by the filing of any instrument in the nature of a conveyance without having first complied with the requirements of this ordinance, shall be deemed a violation of the provisions of this ordinance.
(Ordinance adopting Code)
A. 
The subdivider will be required to install at his own expense all water lines, streets, sewer lines, storm sewer lines, and drainage facilities and structures within the subdivision in accordance with the city’s standards governing the same, including all engineering costs covering design, layout, and construction.
B. 
There will be no participation by the city in the cost of any of the underground utility lines or drainage facilities within the subdivision except in the event of the requirement for oversize lines to serve land areas and improvements beyond the subdivision in question, or to serve other subdivisions. Each installation of this character and the terms and extent of city participation will be considered individually upon the merits of each facility and the conditions involved.
C. 
The city may pay up to one-half (½) the cost of the extension of the city water system and the city sanitary sewer system to serve the subdivision when funds are available for such extensions and the same is deemed expedient by the city. Any such participation by the city shall be only for the extension of services to the plat boundary and not within the subdivision property, except as provided in subsection (B) above. The city planning and zoning commission may refuse to approve a plat whenever it is evident that adequate water and sewer facilities cannot be supplied within a reasonable time.
