[Amended 8-28-2017 by Ord. No. 631]
The ordinance codified in this chapter shall be known and may
be cited as the "Subdivision and Annexation Ordinance."
In their interpretation and application, the provisions of this
chapter shall be held to be the minimum requirements adopted for the
protection of the public health, safety and welfare. To protect the
public, among other purposes, such provisions are intended to provide
for a permanently wholesome community environment, adequate municipal
services and safe streets.
This chapter shall not apply to any lot or lots forming a part
of a subdivision created and recorded prior to the enactment of the
ordinance codified in this chapter; nor is it intended by this chapter
to repeal, abrogate, annul or in any way impair or interfere with
existing provisions of other laws or ordinances, except those specifically
repealed by this chapter, or with private restrictions placed upon
property by deed, covenant or other private agreement, or with restrictive
covenants running with the land to which the Town is a party. Where
this chapter imposes a greater restriction upon land than is imposed
or required by such existing provisions of law or ordinance, the provisions
of this chapter shall control.
If the Town has adopted a Master Plan, this chapter shall be
administered with the Master Plan.
No person shall subdivide any tract of land which is located
within the corporate limits of the Town except in conformity with
the provisions of this chapter.
Upon becoming effective, this chapter shall be deemed to apply
to any territory for which a final plat has not been filed and on
record with the County Clerk and ex officio register of deeds.
