Any proposed subdivision shall be classified as follows, and according to the provisions of the Fringe Area Agreement with Johnson County where applicable.

1. Minor Subdivision. Any subdivision that contains not more than three lots fronting on an existing street or private drive and that does not require State permit approval for construction of any public improvements, and that does not adversely affect the remainder of the parcel shall be classified as a minor plat.

2. Major Subdivision. Any subdivision that, in the opinion of the Council, does not for any reason meet the definition of a minor subdivision, shall be classified as a major subdivision.

3. Plat of Survey. A plat of survey may be used for the subdivision of land with the approval of the City Engineer and City Administrator for one of the following purposes:

A. To convey a single parcel of property prior to future improvement of that parcel from its existing state.

B. For the purpose of vacating public right-of-way.

C. To allow for the reconfiguration of the boundary line between abutting tracts, lots, or parcels that results in conveyance of less than 1,000 square feet of land, and does no result in a parcel being nonconforming or more nonconforming.

D. Other situations as determined appropriate by the City Engineer and City Administrator.

The improvement of land from its existing state or division of lots created by using a plat of survey shall not be allowed except as provided for in the preliminary and final plat provisions of this chapter.
