To facilitate the plat approval process in those instances (including
minor street dedication, easement dedication and replats) where the
highly formalized standard form approval procedure is obviously not
necessary for an understanding of a given development process or the
effects and implications thereof, or for the protection of proximate
individual interest, or for the protection and guidance of community
interests, or for the protection and guidance of community development
as a whole, the short form plat approval procedure may be applicable
when the following conditions have been met:
(1)
Short
form plat and supporting instruments are respectively drawn and compiled
in compliance with the requirements for a final plat.
(2)
The
short form plat and supporting instruments or subdivision they represent
are not otherwise in contravention with V.T.C.A., Government Code
ch. 212.
(3)
Each
lot and block has frontage upon a dedicated and improved street to
city specifications.
(4)
All
easements to each block, or lot have been previously granted or are
shown on the plat.
(5)
The
proposed development neither contains nor creates a significant drainage
problem, nor is topography a salient development consideration.
(6)
All
utilities required to serve each block, or lot are in place or arrangements
to provide such utilities have been made with the appropriate agency.
(7)
The
proposed lots shall meet the size requirements of the zoning ordinance.
(8)
Subject
property shall not exceed five acres.
(9)
The
property so platted shall conform in size and shape to the lots in
the vicinity.
(10)
All
design, engineering, improvements and specifications of documents
to be submitted that are applicable to final plats shall be applicable
to the short form plat.
[Ord. No. 819-97, § 8, 6-10-1997]
The short form plat shall be submitted together with written
application, application fees, tax certificates and inspection fees
for subdivision approval, in as many copies and as per specifications
as required for a final plat.
[Ord. No. 819-97, § 8, 6-10-1997]
