Latest version.
  • A.

    The city administrator is authorized to approve administrative plats in the following instances:

    1.

    The owners of adjoining lots mutually petition for an adjustment of mutual lot lines between them with the lot line adjustment to be no more than ten (10) feet from any existing lot line; and unless there is a party wall, the required setbacks are maintained. Each lot following the adjustment shall contain at least the minimum size as prescribed by law. If undersigned lots of record are involved, each lot shall be maintained as to size.

    2.

    In instances of encroachment of improvement upon an adjoining lot with petition by each adjoining lot owner, the lot line adjustment may be more than ten (10) feet, but is limited to a two-foot area around the encroaching building.

    3.

    Party wall agreements are required in either commercial or industrial situations where an individual lot owner(s) wishes to build adjacent to their mutual lot lines, even though normal regulations require setbacks.

    B.

    Applicants shall prepare a survey plat with dimensions and bearings. Providing there is no encroachment of improvements as stated in subparagraphs 1 and 2 of subsection A of this section, the area of the plat to be transferred shall become a portion of the adjoining lot. As to applications under subparagraph 3 of subsection A of this section, the proposed improvements resulting in party wall(s) shall be shown. In addition, the proposed party wall construction details shall be stated either on the plat or on an attached sheet. The plat showing the area involved shall contain a certification of approval by the city administrator citing the date of approval and bearing his signature.
