SUBDIVISIONS
ARTICLE I. IN GENERAL
Sec. 66 -1. Purpose.
Sec. 66-2. Jurisdiction.
Sec. 66 -3. Definitions.
Sec. 66-4. Penalties.
Secs. 66- 5- 66 -30. Reserved.
Sec. 66 -1. Purpose.
The procedures and standards for the development and subdivision of real estate
and for the surveying and platting thereof adopted and prescribed by this chapter are
hereby found by the village to be necessary and appropriate in order to provide for
economical and sufficient streets with adequate widths and with proper alignment and
grades designed to promote the public safety, health and general welfare, to provide for
suitable residential neighborhoods with adequate streets and utilities and appropriate
building sites to save unnecessary expenditure of public funds by initial proper
construction of streets and utilities and to provide proper land records for the convenience
of the public and for better identification and permanent location of real estate
boundaries.
Sec. 66 -2. Jurisdiction.
From and after the date of adoption, the regulations in this chapter shall govern
subdivisions of land within the village limits and subdivisions about to be annexed to the
village, and no subdivider may proceed with improvement or sale of lots in a subdivision
until such subdivision plat shall have been approved and accepted as provided in this
chapter.
Sec. 66-3. Definitions.
The following words, terms and phrases, when used in this chapter, shall have the
meanings ascribed to them in this section, except where the context clearly indicates a
different meaning:
Building line means a line on a lot, generally, but not necessarily, parallel to a lot
line or road right -of -way line, located a sufficient distance therefrom to provide the
minimum yards required by chapter 78. The building line delimits the area in which
buildings are permitted subject to all applicable provisions of chapter 78.
Cul -de -sac means a street having one open end and being permanently terminated
by a vehicular turnaround.
Dedication means the deliberate appropriation of land by its owner for any
general and public uses, reserving to himself no other right than such as are compatible
with the full exercise and enjoyment of the public uses to which the property has been
devoted.
Easement means a right -of -way granted for limited uses of private property for a
public or quasipublic purpose.
Lot means a tract or parcel of land identified as a single unit in a subdivision and
intended for transfer of ownership, use or improvement.
2
Lot split means the subdivision of a single lot or parcel of land into two lots or
parcels.
Right -of -way means land reserved, used or to be used for a street, alley, walkway,
drainage facility or other public purpose.
Setback line means the distance between the street right -of -way line and the front
wall of the main structure. In chapter 78 this distance is defined as the front yard. (This
should not be confused with setback lines sometimes established by ordinance for the
purpose of ultimate street widening, measured from the centerline of the right -of -way.)
Sight distance means the minimum extent of an unobstructed forward vision (in a
horizontal plane) along a street from a vehicle located at any given point on a street.
Sketch plan means an informal plan indicating the salient existing features of the
site and its surroundings as described in article II of this chapter and the general layout of
a proposed subdivision.
Street means a public way for vehicular traffic, whether designated as a street,
highway, thoroughfare, parkway, throughway, road, boulevard, lane, or place, or however
designated.
(1) Alley means a minor roadway which is used primarily for vehicular
service access to the back or side of properties otherwise abutting on a
street.
(2) Arterial streets and highways means those which are used primarily for
fast movement.
(3) Collector or feeder streets means those which carry traffic from minor
streets to the major system of arterial streets or highways, including the
principal entrance streets for residential development and streets for
circulation within such a development.
(4) Expressway means a street or highway intended for fast moving and heavy
traffic on which points of egress or ingress are limited and grade crossings
are separated.
(5) Half street means a street generally parallel and adjacent to the boundary
of a tract, having a lesser right -of -way width than required for a full width
of the type involved.
(6) Marginal access street means minor streets which are parallel and
adjacent to arterial streets and highways and which provide access to
abutting properties and protection from traffic.
(7) Minor street means residential streets used primarily for access to abutting
property.
(8) Parkway means streets with limited access on an exceptional right -of -way
permitting marginal parkways for landscaping.
Subdivider and developer mean a person who undertakes the activities covered by
this chapter, particularly the drawing up of a subdivision plat showing the layout of the
land and the public improvements involved therein. Inasmuch as the subdivision plat is
merely a necessary means to the end of ensuring a satisfactory development, the term
"subdivider" is intended to include the term "developer" even though the persons
involved in successive stages of the project may vary.
Subdivision means the division of a parcel of land into three or more lots or
parcels either by plat into lots and blocks or by metes and bounds description for the
3
purpose of transfer of ownership or development, or, if a new street is involved, any
division of a parcel of land. A lot split shall not, for purposes of this chapter, be
considered a subdivision. However, if a property becomes the subject of a lot split
subsequent to the adoption of the ordinance from which this chapter is derived, any
subsequent lot split involving the same parcel of land shall be subject to the subdivision
requirements set forth in this chapter. Because all development orders and development
permits issued by the village must be consistent with the village's comprehensive plan,
and since adequate public facilities for transportation, sanitary sewer, potable water,
drainage, solid waste disposal and recreation/open space must be available sufficient to
maintain the village's adopted levels of service concurrent with the impacts of
development, property owners in the village have no assurance that subdivision of lands
in the village can be undertaken to the maximum extent that may be allowable under the
provisions of chapter 78.
Village staff means the various department heads and administrative personnel of
the village.
Sec. 664. Penalties.
Violations of the provisions of this chapter or failure to comply with any of its
requirements (including violation of conditions and safeguards established in connection
with grants of variances or special exceptions), after notice by a village official, shall,
upon conviction, be punished as provided in section 1 -14 or by any other lawful means
available to the village, including the code enforcement special magistrate In addition,
the person convicted shall pay all costs and expenses involved in the case. Each day such
violation continues shall be considered a separate offense.
