§ 20-25. Subdivision of federally owned properties.

(1)

The lot has frontage on a private street that meets the right-of-way design and construction standards for public streets as stated in the subdivision ordinance. The private street shall have direct access or be part of a private street system that has direct access onto a public street. If such access does not exist between the private street and the public street system, then an agreement guaranteeing access to an existing public street, in accordance with the terms of section 20-25.2, must also be presented; or

(2)

An agreement guaranteeing access to an existing public street is presented and approved with the subdivision plat for the proposed lot(s). At the time of acceptance of this agreement, the extent of improved vehicular access shall be adequate to allow access by police, fire and prospective occupants. Said agreement shall outline construction, maintenance, and ownership of the proposed means of temporary access to the proposed subdivision and shall run with the land and bind all successors and assigns; and

(3)

The subdivider submits an agreement to plat and dedicate any and all public street right-of-ways, in accord with the recommendations of the air base master plan of the city's comprehensive plan, within five years of plat approval creating the new lot. Said agreement shall run with the land and bind-all-successors and assigns.

The developer shall at the time of the offer of dedication submit moneys in escrow to the city in a sum determined by the city manager upon recommendation from the city engineer and/or the planning commission for necessary final improvement of the street.

Further subdivision of tracts created under the provisions of subsections (2) and (3) shall not be allowed until plats creating the right-of-ways have been approved and recorded.
