tion of portions of previously platted lots
where no new parcels or residual parcels
are created which are smaller than any of
the original lots or smaller than the ap-
plicable minimum lot area requirements
in Article 2 of this development code.
B. The conveyance of a lot or tract to an
adjacent lot or tract which neither re-
duces any lot or tract to an area or width
less than required in Article 2 of this
development code for the zoning district
in which the lot or tract is located nor is
inconsistent with any other provision of
this development code.
C. The division of previously platted prop-
erty where:
1. Not more than two tracts or lots are
involved;
2. No new street or alley is proposed or
additional right-of-way is required;
3. No vacation or elimination of streets,
alleys, setback lines, access control
or easements is required or pro-
posed;
4. All easement requirements have been
or will be satisfied;
5. The division will not result in a tract
or lot that does not have direct ac-
cess to a street;
6. The division complies with all the
provisions of this development code.
D. Applications for minor lot adjustments shall
include a survey of the existing lots and a survey
and legal description of the proposed new lots.

such new lots are recorded in the county, the
applicant shall file copies of the recorded legal
descriptions and survey with the community de-
velopment director. The city engineer shall be
responsible for recording such approved lot ad-
justments on the city's Zoning Atlas.

Section 4-702. Required approvals.
If plat approval is required, approval is ob-
tained in two stages: preliminary and final plat
approval and is intended to be processed simulta-

plats, the approval process is ministerial, assum-
ing compliance with the preliminary plat ap-
proval and all requirements of the city code. If
plat approval is required, preliminary plat ap-
proval must obtained before a building permit
may be issued. Evidence of the recording of an
approved final plat must be submitted prior to the
issuance of a certificate of occupancy.

a. A title opinion of an attorney li-
censed in the state or a certification
by an abstractor or a title company
stating that the court records iden-
tify that the title to the land as
described and shown on the plat is in
the name of the person executing the
dedication. In addition, a document
entitled consent to platting of lands
and partial release of mortgage shall
be f1led together with the final plat
for each person or corporation hold-
ing a mortgage on all land included
on the plat, where such person has
not signed the final plat. The title

all mortgages not satisfied or re-
leased of record nor otherwise termi-
nated by law.
b. Certification by a registered land
surveyor that the plat represents a
survey made by that individual that
all the necessary survey monuments,
lot sizes and lot dimensions are cor-
rectly shown thereon, and that the
plat complies with all of the survey
requirements of Chapter 177 and
this development code. Impressed on

supervision of a professional sur-
veyor and mapper preceding the ini-
tial submittal of the plat to the local
governing body. This subsection does
not restrict a legal entity from em-
ploying one professional surveyor and
mapper to perform and prepare the
boundary survey and another profes-
sional surveyor and mapper to pre-
pare the plat, except that both the
boundary survey and the plat must
be under the same legal entity.
d. Certification that all real estate taxes
have been paid.
e. Every plat of a subdivision or condo-
minium filed for record shall include
any required dedication by the appli-
cant. The dedication shall be exe-

ees having a record interest in the
land platted shall execute, in the
same manner in which deeds are
required to be executed, either the
dedication contained on the plat or

division, all streets, alleys, ease-
ments, rights-of-way and public ar-
eas shown on such plat, unless oth-
erwise stated, shall be determined to

been constructed according to the
approved subdivision construction
plans and a copy of the financial
guarantee for completion of required
improvements shall be filed with the
city engineer before such plat shall
be recorded.
3. Financial guarantee. Unless all required
improvements have been satisfactorily com-
pleted, an acceptable financial guarantee

letter of credit shall include among
other things, an expiration date not
earlier than one year from the date
of issuance; a provision required the
issuer of the letter of credit to give at
least 30 days' written notice to the

DMSION 8. TRAFFIC IMPACT STUDY
Section 4.801. Purpose and applicability.
A. The purpose of the traffic impact study is to
examine the effect of a proposed development on
the roadways of the city in accordance with an
established methodology. If a traffic impact study
is required pursuant to this division, the method-
ology to be used shall be discussed and agreed
upon at a pre-application conference held in ac-
cordance with section 4-201.
B. Except as provided in subsection C below, a
traffic impact study shall be required for any
development which may degrade the acceptable
level of service for any roadway as adopted in the
Comprehensive Plan. Trip generation shall be
based on the most recent edition of the Institute
of Transportation Engineers Trip Generation Man-
ual.
C. No traffic impact study will be required for
the following:
1. The development is an approved develop-
ment of regional impact, and is consistent
with the development order for the project
if the development order was approved
prior to May 17, 1990.

~ 4-801 COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CODE
2. The development is consistent with an
unexpired certified site plan that was
certified prior to May 17, 1990.
3. The development is consistent with an
approved final site plan that is certified
not later than July 16, 1990 and is not
allowed to expire by the developer.
4. The development is consistent with an
approved, recorded subdivision plat which
meets all currently applicable require-
ments of this development code, if the plat
was recorded prior to May 17, 1990.
5. The development is consistent with a build-
ing permit approved prior to May 17,
1990.
6. The development has been determined to
have vested development rights.
{Ord. No. 6526-00, ~ 1, 6-15-00)
Section 4-802. Procedures.
A. The impact of the proposed development
shall be analyzed to determine if the proposed
development may degrade the acceptable level of
service as adopted in the Comprehensive Plan.
B. Typically the examination shall be made for
the p. m. peak. hour of the roadway; if a proposed
use or mix of uses has peaking characteristics
which fall outside of the normal p. m. peak hour,
the traffic engineer may require an analysis of the
particular peak. period of the proposed use or mix
of uses.
C. The projections of site-related traffic shall
be based on the most recent edition of the Insti-
tute of Transportation Engineers Trip Generation
Manual or local empirical observations approved
by the traffic engineer.
{Ord. No. 6526-00, ~ 1, 6-15-00)
Section 4-803. Standards for study.
A. Traffic characteristics to be analyzed. The
following traffic characteristics shall be analyzed
for any development for which a traffic impact
study is required:
1. Existing and projected traffic volumes and
levels of service.
Supp. No.1
2. Trip distribution including origination and
destination projections for the proposed
development.
3. Average daily trips and peak hour trips
projected to be generated at build out and
full occupancy.
4. Amounts and projected growth of back-
ground traffic in five years.
5. Existing and future, roadway and inter-
section design capacities in five years.
6. Proposed improvements or alterations to
roadways serving the development.
7. Percentage of internal capture and pass-
erby trips.
B. Additional traffu: analyses which may be
required. The following analyses of site-related
traffic may be required by the traffic engineer as
part of the traffic impact study:
1. Effects of phasing of the proposed devel-
opment.
2. Mitigation of traffic impacts by methods
such as ridesharing, carpooling, or stag-
gered work hours.
3. Provisions for access management or al-
ternative access means.
4. Development contributions or site-related
improvements which will mitigate im-
pacts.
5. Accident rates at intersections.
6. Other improvements or alternatives.
C. Traffic studies shall be conducted in accor-
dance with NCHRP Highway Capacity Manual
(TRB Report 209).
(
D. Minimum required standards. A traffic im-
pact study for a development shall demonstrate
that the infrastructure requirements and stan-
dards set forth in the transportation and capital
improvement elements of the comprehensive plan
of the city are or shall be satisfied to the extent
that such requirements apply to the development.
E. If a traffic impact study has been approved
