[Amended 1-7-1991 by Ord. No. 90-21; 6-3-2013 by Ord. No. 2013-09]
The following provisions shall govern the partitioning or dividing
of lots, outlots, or other parcels of land in a recorded plat, subject
to the provisions of the Land Division Act, MCLA § 560.101
et seq., as amended.
Land may be detached from one such lot, outlot, or parcel and added to another lot, outlot or parcel upon application to and approval by the City Assessor. The fact of such a division shall be noted upon the City assessment roll, and thereafter the enlarged lot, outlot or parcel shall be considered to be a single lot, outlot, or parcel for tax assessment and all other purposes. No such division shall be permitted unless the enlarged lot, outlot or parcel and the remainder of the lot, outlot, or parcel from which the part was taken meets the minimum requirements of Chapter 770, Zoning, including requirements as to width, area and open spaces, and unless all fees have been paid.
Such lot, outlot or parcel may be divided into two but not more
than four separate lots, outlots or parcels upon application to and
approval by the City Assessor, based upon review and recommendation
from the Director of Planning, the Building Official, the City Engineer
and the City Treasurer, or their designees. A survey showing such
proposed divisions prepared by a registered civil engineer or land
surveyor and including a proper legal description of each separate
lot, outlot or parcel proposed, along with any other information reasonably
required to complete the review, shall be submitted with the application.
All fees shall be paid at the time of filing.
The application for partition or division of
any lot, outlot or parcel shall be accompanied by the payment of a
fee in an amount to be set by resolution of the City Commission.
