(Ord. 5-89, passed 5-8-1989)

   Whenever the strict enforcement of these subdivision regulations would entail unusual, real and substantial difficulties or hardships, and where the overall design relationships can be justified, the Planning and Zoning Commission and Council may vary or modify the terms in such a way that the subdivider is allowed to plan and develop his or her property, record a plat of the same and make necessary improvements thereto without unjust difficulties and hardships, if, at the same time, the public interests of the village are fully protected and the general intent and purpose of these subdivision regulations are preserved.

(Ord. 5-89, passed 5-8-1989)

   Whoever violates or fails to comply with, or permits or causes any person in his or her employ to violate or fail to comply with, any provision of these subdivision regulations shall be subject to a fine of not more than $50 for each and every offense.

   (a)   Upon approval of a preliminary plat, the Planning and Zoning Commission shall certify one copy thereof to Council for approval or disapproval. Failure of Council to approve or disapprove the preliminary plat at the next regular meeting occurring more than ten days following certification of the plat to Council shall be deemed to constitute approval of the preliminary plat by Council, unless a further delay is agreed to by the subdivider. Approval by Council of the preliminary plat shall constitute approval of the layout of the streets and public grounds shown thereon and shall evidence Council’s intention to accept the dedication of the same upon approval by the Commission of the final plat. The approval of the preliminary plat shall be effective for a maximum period of 12 months, unless an extension is granted by the Commission.

   (b)   The approval of the preliminary plat does not constitute an acceptance of the subdivision, but merely authorizes the developer to proceed with work on the final plat. One copy of the approved preliminary plat, signed by the Chairperson of the Planning and Zoning Commission and the Mayor, shall be retained in the office of the Fiscal Officer. One signed copy shall be given to the subdivider and one signed copy shall be given to the Village Engineer.

   (c)   Receipt of such signed copy is authorization for the subdivider to proceed with the preparation of detailed plans and specifications for the minimum improvements required by these subdivision regulations and with the preparation of the final plat. Prior to the construction of any improvements required or to the submission of any bond, the subdivider shall furnish to Council all plans, information and data necessary for such improvements. These plans shall be examined by Council and shall be approved if they are in accordance with the requirements of these subdivision regulations.

Such area shall constitute ground suitable for public parks and playground facilities, as reviewed and approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission.

   (b)   Private Recreational Facilities. If the resulting land dedication is determined to be of insufficient size or inappropriately located, or if public ownership and operation of such recreational areas are not feasible, the village may request that an applicant plan for the provision of privately financed and owned recreational facilities. Such private park areas shall be not less than 65% of the land area otherwise required under division (a) hereof, provided that such park areas shall be privately developed for recreational uses. The applicant shall be required to indicate:

      (1)   The proposed size and location of the park area;

      (2)   The proposed recreational facilities and site improvements to be made;

      (3)   A schedule indicating how actual construction of the proposed park and improvements is to be phased in, in relationship to overall project phasing; and

(Ord. 5-89, passed 5-8-1989)

   (a)   As a prerequisite to the approval of the final plat of a subdivision, the owner or proprietor of each new subdivision for the purpose of transfer of ownership of land shall pay a public use fee into the Parkland Capital Improvement Fund of the Village of Minerva Park in accordance with the fee schedule adopted and approved by Village Council.

   (b)   The public use fee shall be in addition to the land dedicated for parks and playground facilities, under § 1216.02, for a residential subdivision, planned unit development or a subdivision containing residential living units.

   (c)   In lieu of the payment of the public use fees hereinbefore provided, Village Council, after receiving the Planning Commission’s recommendation, may accept the dedication for public use of an amount of land equal to 0.025 acres per residential or dwelling unit proposed and such land shall be dedicated as a site for the purposes set forth in division (b) hereof, except that in no case shall the site exceed 25% of the total gross site area.

   (d)   The village shall use property acquired under this section for parks, playgrounds, gymnasiums, swimming pools, indoor recreation centers or other public purposes. Such property may be used in connection with a school building or school premises operated by the Board of Education of the Westerville School District and shall be dedicated on a case-by-case basis. Nothing in this section shall prevent any such park or recreational facility from being jointly acquired, operated and maintained by the village and the Westerville Board of Education, if both parties so agree.

   (e)   Under no condition shall any land obtained under this section that is used jointly with any school district be used for the erection of an educational building, storage site, bus terminal, administration facility or other such use.

(Ord. 05-2014, passed 6-2-2014)

   (a)   Within five days after the final plat has been filed, a copy thereof shall be transmitted to the Village Engineer, who will check the plat to determine if it conforms to the preliminary plat as approved. If the final plat does so conform, the Engineer shall, within ten working days after the plat has been transmitted to him or her, return the plat to the Planning and Zoning Commission Chairperson together with a two-fold certificate showing:

      (1)   The technical details of the plat have been checked and that the final plat conforms in all essential respects to the preliminary plat; and

      (2)   All required improvements have been satisfactorily completed, or that security has been given for the making of such improvements, as provided by these subdivision regulations.
