(Code 1978, § 23.5(H); Ord. No. 06-03-02, 3-27-2006; Ord. No. 07-03-06, § 2(Exh. A), 3-27-2007; Ord. No. 12-06-07, Exh. E, 6-11-2012; Ord. No. 12-12-11, Exh. C, 12-17-2012; Ord. No. 13-10-12, 10-28-2013; Ord. No. 16-05-05, Exhs. B, D, 5-23-2016; Ord. No. 17-04-02, 4-24-2017)

1. If the conditions of this chapter are met, a lot upon which a two-family dwelling exists, or if to be constructed, may be split along the party wall to allow for individual ownership of each unit. The newly created lots shall each be in compliance with the minimum lot width and area requirements of the Zoning Ordinance.
2. All of the following conditions must be met before a lot split described in (a) of this section may be approved.
   1. The property and structure must be able to be easily split into two (2) substantially equal sections.
   2. The structure must meet current building code standards for fire wall separation. This shall also apply to existing structures.
   3. Separate utility services must be provided at the owner's expense. If the property is already provided with a single one-inch or larger water service, this water service may be separated at the property line by installing a wye and two additional curb stops and boxes on the home side of the existing curb stop and box. If, however, in the opinion of the city engineer, it is feasible to make a second water service connection to the existing main, the existing water service shall not be split at the property line. If the existing water service is smaller than one-inch diameter, a separate service connection shall be made to the city water mains. If a lot is intended to be used for a two-family dwelling unit under separate ownership and the public water system is under construction, reconstruction or if the street is under reconstruction making access to the water system feasible, separate services shall be extended to the lot at that time. Splitting an existing sanitary sewer service at the property line with a wye and two (2) clean-outs may provide separate sanitary sewer service. However, if conditions exist as stated above for water services making extension of separate services from the city sewer system feasible, such extension shall be made.
   4. Deed restrictions shall be recorded with the property requirements that the structure shall have a uniform exterior appearance in terms of color, design and maintenance.
   5. Deed restrictions shall be recorded with the property that if one unit is burned or destroyed, it shall be reconstructed in a uniform appearance, and if both units are burned or destroyed, minimum lot widths shall then prevail for a single dwelling home. A double dwelling may be rebuilt meeting the original conditions of this section.
   6. Any disputes shall be submitted to binding arbitration according to the rules of the Minnesota Arbitration Association.
   7. Any other conditions shall be imposed that the city deems necessary to assure compatibility with surrounding structures or to assure a reasonable division of property.
