A. 
Lots or parcels shall be created only when each lot or parcel contains the minimum required frontage on a public street, or on an approved private street in a planned unit development. Tentative plan approval shall only be issued for lots containing the minimum frontage requirements. Building permit approval shall only be issued for lots containing the minimum frontage requirements and when frontage and interior streets are either fully developed to the standards of this title, or adequate guarantee of future construction has been accomplished to the city's satisfaction.
B. 
Each new lot or parcel created in a subdivision or partition shall have minimum frontage on a public street as follows:
1. 
Residential lots: 60 feet.
a. 
Cul-de-sacs: 40 feet.
b. 
Flag lots: 25 feet.
2. 
Commercial/industrial lots: 40 feet.
C. 
Subdivisions with frontage on the state highway system shall have limited access to and from the highway. Normally, a maximum of two accesses may be allowed, regardless of the number of lots or businesses served. If access off of a secondary street is possible, then access should not be allowed onto the state highway. If access off of a secondary street becomes available, then conversion to that access is encouraged, along with closing the state highway access.
D. 
New direct accesses to individual one- and two-family dwellings shall be prohibited on all but district-level state highways.
(Ord. 11-373-O § 8-7:5.110)
Alley access shall not constitute public street access for the purposes of land division. Access to an existing lot of record may be taken from an existing public alley, provided the alley is paved to city street paving standards along the alley frontage of the subject property. When an existing public alley is not paved to city standards, the following standards shall be met:
A. 
Single-Family and Duplex Dwellings. For new access from an alley to a pre-existing parcel, full alley paving along the property frontage is required.
B. 
Other Developments. Where alley access is proposed for other developments, the applicant shall improve the full width of the alley along the property frontage to that street intersection most likely to provide the greatest amount of traffic. At the intersection of the alley with the street, the applicant shall provide a standard commercial drive approach.
C. 
Local Improvement District. Where a local improvement district is formed to improve the alley prior to or concurrent with development, the applicant shall participate in the frontage costs of the alley as provided in the local improvement district in lieu of paving as listed above.
(Ord. 11-373-O § 8-7:5.111)
A. 
Public streets shall be created through one of the following instruments:
1. 
Approval of a final subdivision or partition plat.
2. 
Acceptance of a deed or dedication where the development does not involve the partitioning of land. Any property divided by creation of a public street shall continue to be considered a single unit of land until such time as the property is further subdivided or partitioned.
3. 
Streets may be created through processes other than partitioning or subdividing; provided, that the street is constructed to city standards or other applicable standards, the street is officially accepted by the city or other governing body responsible for the street, and the street is deeded and/or recorded with the county clerk in accordance with all applicable laws.
B. 
Private streets are permitted within planned unit developments, manufactured housing parks, recreational vehicle parks, and singularly owned developments of sufficient size to warrant interior circulation on private streets. These streets shall be created through the applicable land use action process.
(Ord. 11-373-O § 8-7:5.120)
Easements for water, sewer, storm drainage, and other utilities such as power, telephone, cable television, natural gas and irrigation districts shall be conveyed wherever necessary. The city administrator may require the applicant to acquire easements on adjoining or adjacent property whenever such easements are necessary to complete the proposed development. Public utilities shall be provided as follows:
A. 
Utility and drainage extensions to provide service to properties that do not abut existing utility lines shall be installed in public rights-of-way or in designated public utility easements as approved by the public works director.
B. 
Water, sewer and storm drain facilities shall be extended in public rights-of-way. Where extension in public rights-of-way is unfeasible, water, sewer and drainage facilities shall be extended in public utility easements, as approved by the public works director. The width of such easements shall be 15 feet to 20 feet, as determined by the public works director.
C. 
Public utility easements for power, telephone, cable television, and natural gas shall be a minimum of 10 feet in width, and shall extend on both sides of the public right-of-way. Such easements in planned unit developments shall be as approved by the public works director and the utilities.
D. 
Private water, sewer and storm drain service extensions to serve a single residence or business proposed for a pre-existing lot may be extended in a private easement.
E. 
All easements shall be shown on the tentative plan accurately and to scale, and identified as to purpose. Easements shall be recorded by the applicant in a form approved by the city administrator and the city attorney prior to the approval of the final plat.
F. 
Nothing in subsections (A) through (E) of this section shall diminish or affect the obligation of the applicant to extend services as provided in this title and other city ordinances.
G. 
Where a common drive is to be provided to serve more than one property in a subdivision or partition, a reciprocal easement, which will ensure access rights, shall be shown on the final plat, and an easement agreement will be recorded with the final plat.
(Ord. 11-373-O § 8-7:5.130)
New subdivisions shall not bear names similar to or pronounced the same as the name of any other subdivision in Jackson County, unless the land platted is contiguous to and platted by the same party that platted the subdivision bearing that name, or unless the party files and records the consent of the party that platted the contiguous subdivision bearing that name.
(Ord. 11-373-O § 8-7:5.140)
All lots in a subdivision and parcels in a partition or property line adjustment shall be numbered or lettered consecutively.

All parcel and lot numbers or letters shall begin with the number one ("1") or the letter "A," except for a subdivision that is a continued phase of a previously recorded subdivision, bearing the same name, in which case the lots shall be numbered consecutively following the highest numbered or lettered lot of the previous phase(s).
(Ord. 11-373-O § 8-7:5.150)
A. 
Only one partition or subdivision plat may be recorded on the same land during the same calendar year, unless the subsequent plat fully encompasses all the land contained in the previous plat.

A partition or subdivision plat may be recorded on one or more of the parcels of a property line adjustment plat that was recorded previously that calendar year as long as the property proposed to be platted is under, and has been under since the beginning of the year, separate legal ownership from all other abutting parcels in the property line adjustment.
(Ord. 11-373-O § 8-7:5.160)
