From the effective date of the ordinance codified in this title no person shall subdivide any tract of land which is located wholly or in part within the limits of American Fork City, Utah, nor shall any person sell, exchange, or offer for sale, or purchase, or offer to purchase any parcel of land which is any part of a subdivision of a larger tract of land within the city, nor shall any person offer for recording any deed conveying such a parcel of land or any interest therein unless he shall first make or cause to have made a final plat thereof which shall be in accordance with all of the requirements of this code and shall have been approved by the planning commission and city council and recorded in the office of the county recorder. Provided, however, that land may be sold by metes and bounds without the necessity of recording a final plat if all the following conditions are met:

1. The subdivision contains less than ten lots;
2. The subdivision layout, complying with the requirements for a preliminary plan as set forth in this code, shall have been first approved in writing by the planning commission;
3. The subdivision is not traversed by the mapped lines of a proposed street as shown on the official map or maps of the municipality;
4. The subdivision does not require the dedication of any land for street or other public purposes;
5. Each lot in the subdivision meets the frontage, width, and area requirements set forth under the zoning provisions of this code or has been granted a variance from requirements by the board of adjustment; and
6. All improvements required under Section 17.8.400 of this title shall have been installed or assurances given to the city that said required improvements will be installed without cost to the city as provided for under Chapter 17.9 of this code.

The planning commission shall have the responsibility for preparing standards and specifications for the design and quality of all required improvements. Said standards and specifications shall be adopted by the city council. Said standards and specifications constitute the minimum requirements and shall apply to all subdivisions under all ordinary circumstances; provided however, that where the subdivider can show that: (1) because of topographical or other conditions peculiar to the site, the application of a specific standard or specification would pose an unreasonable hardship, the city council, with the prior recommendation from the planning commission and upon a finding that a departure from the standard is warranted and could be approved without destroying the intent of such provisions, may authorize a variance from the terms of the standard or specification. Any variance so authorized shall be stated on the final plat and the reasons for such departure shall be entered in writing in the minutes of the city council.

(Ord. No. 07-01-07)

All streets shall be dedicated for public use. The dedication of half streets in any subdivision is prohibited, except on the borders. Owners of the property adjacent to the non-dedicated half-street will be required to dedicate and improve the remaining half.

Each lot in the subdivision shall abut upon a public street dedicated to the public by the subdivision plat or an existing dedicated street or a street which has become public by right of use and is more than fifty feet wide. Interior lots having frontage on two streets (double frontage lots) shall be prohibited except where topographic conditions make such designs appropriate or where the lot has been approved under the provisions of Section 17.4.603 C-2 relating to subdivisions in the HFO-1 highway frontage overlay zone.
(Ord. No. 92-11-43)

Public utilities, including water and sewer lines, shall not be permitted to be constructed or installed under a right-of-way (roadway or sidewalk) unless said right-of-way:

1. Has been dedicated to the City; or
2. Is shown on a plat of a subdivision, which plat has received approval by the city council.

1. Adequate public facilities required. Adequate public facilities are and shall be required to be available concurrent with subdivision approval.
2. Applicant to provide data. From and after the effective date of this amendment to the Development Code of American Fork City, Utah, no application for subdivision approval shall be granted, approved or issued unless the applicant has provided sufficient information or data to establish that essential public facilities in the area affected by the proposed development will have adequate and sufficient capacity available at the adopted level of service standards to accommodate the proposed development at or within a reasonable period of time following the granting or issuance of final plat approval for the proposed development. This shall be known herein as "adequate public facilities" requirement.
3. Essential public facilities. Essential public facilities to which this requirement will apply include the following:
   1. Culinary waterworks system, including quantity, quality, treatment, storage capacity, and transmission/distribution system capacity;
   2. Sanitary sewer and wastewater system, including outfall lines, laterals and collector lines;
   3. Storm water drainage, including flood control facilities;

As part of the material submitted in support of an application for subdivision approval, the applicant shall submit sufficient information to demonstrate that essential public facilities will be available at specified levels of service at or within a reasonable period of time following the issuance of subdivision plat approval for the proposed development. Such a determination may include the timing, phasing and sequencing of the proposed development. Compliance with level of service standards shall be measured in accordance with the adopted level of service standards as set forth in the city's general plan, as well as any ordinances, resolutions, policies, and regulations of the city pertaining to level of service standards as may from time to time be adopted. The city engineer, the city planner, the planning commission, and the city council, or any of them, may request additional information from the applicant to address the adequacy and availability of public facilities referenced above as part of the subdivision approval process.
5. When adequate public facilities are not available. If it is determined that essential public facilities will not be available at the specified levels of service at or within a reasonable period of time following the insurance of final subdivision plat approval, so as to ensure that such services will be available at the time of occupancy of the new development being proposed, the city council—in the exercise of its discretion—may review, evaluate and discuss with the applicant, the following alternatives and conditions:
   1. Allow the developer to voluntarily advance the costs necessary to provide those public facilities which are necessary to service the proposed development and to meet the applicable level of service standards by entering into an appropriate form of development agreement, which may include, as deemed appropriate, provisions for credits or reimbursement of any expenses incurred above and beyond those reasonably necessary for or related to the need created by or benefit conferred upon the proposed development;
   2. Require timing, sequencing and phasing of the proposed development consistent with the available capacity of public facilities;
   3. Defer final plat approval and the insurance of building permits until all necessary public facilities are adequate and available; or
   4. Deny subdivision plat approval at the present time and require the applicant to reapply when adequate public facilities are available at the adopted level of service standard.

No subdivision plan/plat shall have the effect of creating a derelict parcel. Any such parcel must be attached to adjacent lots rather than allowed to remain as an independent parcel. Privately owned protection or retainer strips shall not be permitted. For purposes of this section, a derelict parcel shall be construed to mean:

1. A residual parcel of land created or proposed to be created as part of a proposed subdivision of a larger tract, which parcel has insufficient area or dimension or possesses other condition(s) which prohibit its qualification as a zoning lot within the zone.
2. Any parcel directly adjacent to the proposed subdivision, under the same ownership, which parcel having insufficient area or dimension or possesses other conditions which prohibit its qualification as a zoning lot within zone. Any such parcel shall either be incorporated into the design of the proposed subdivision or disposed of so that a derelict parcel no longer exists.

(Ord. No. 2000-6-17; Ord. No. 2015-01-02, pt. I, § 1, 1-27-2015)

No subdivision plan shall have the effect of leaving a residual zoning lot for which the required subdivision improvements: (1) have not been previously constructed or, (2) are not to be included as part of the required improvements for the proposed subdivision. For purposes of this paragraph a residual zoning lot shall be construed to include a parcel created by the proposed subdivision but not included as a lot on the final plat, which qualifies as a zoning lot, but because of insufficient size, dimension or other limitation is not readily capable of further division in accordance with the requirements of the zoning ordinance.
(Ord. No. 2000-6-17)
