SUBDIVISION DESIGN

AND IMPROVEMENT STANDARDS

§ 151.220 APPLICABILITY OF SUBDIVISION REGULATIONS.

   (A)   No land within the subdivision jurisdiction of the village, other than land that is specifically exempted from the requirements of the Illinois Plat Act (ILCS Ch. 765, Act 205, § 1(b)) shall be subdivided or developed except in compliance with the regulations of the Development Code, the current edition of the I.D.O.T. Standards and the applicable provisions of state law. In case of conflict, the more stringent shall apply. No lot in any subdivision shall be conveyed until:
      (1)   The final plat of a phase or the whole of said subdivision has been approved by the Village Board of Trustees and recorded in the office of the St. Clair County Recorder of Deeds; and
      (2)   The portion or phase of the subdivision in which the lot is located has been improved in accordance with the requirements of the Development Code or an assurance of completion has been posted to assure the completion of the improvements.
   (B)   No building permit shall be issued to allow construction on any lot conveyed in violation of this action.

§ 151.221 SUITABILITY FOR SUBDIVISION GENERALLY.

   Land which the Board of Trustees, with the advice of the Planning Commission and village staff, determines to be unsuitable for development due to poor drainage, rough topography, adverse soil conditions, flooding potential or other conditions that will be harmful to the health, safety and welfare of inhabitants of the subdivision and/or surrounding areas shall not be subdivided or developed unless adequate plans/methods are formulated to resolve or avoid the problems caused by the adverse land conditions.

§ 151.222 LOT REQUIREMENTS.

   Land shall be subdivided in such a way that:
   (A)   All subdivision lots shall conform to the minimum lot size requirements of the zoning district in which the subdivision is located; provided, however, land that may be submerged in the 100-year storm event or land reserved for wetlands, riparian corridors or street improvements shall not be counted toward meeting the requirements;
   (B)   Every corner and through lot shall be large enough to permit compliance with the front setback requirements of the applicable zoning district on every side of the lot that faces a street;
   (C)   All lot remnants shall be added to adjacent lots to avoid the creation of unbuildable lots;
   (D)   All lots shall contain adequate space for required off-street parking and loading;
   (E)   All side lot lines shall be at right angles to straight street right-of-way lines or radial to curved street right-of-way lines;
   (F)   Each lot within the subdivision shall abut a street meeting the street design specifications in §§ 151.245 through 151.254 and have the required frontage as shown in § 151.047;
   (G)   All outlots shall have access to public right-of-way at least 25 feet wide; and
   (H)   Lots to be sized to ensure the 100-year storm high water elevation is at least 30 feet from any building proposed on the lot.

   (B)   All lot corners shall be marked by one-half-inch iron pins not less than 24 inches long. These pins shall be driven into the ground deep enough that they do not protrude above the ground surface more than one-half inch.
