Sec. 42-22.1. Authority and Scope.

The City Council enacts this Article pursuant to the authority conferred by Chapter 89.300 Revised Statutes of Missouri. The Planning and Zoning Commission of Rolla, Missouri, hereinafter referred to as the Commission, is hereby designated as the administrative agency charged with the duty of making determinations and investigations concerning the design and improvements in proposed subdivisions and for making recommendations to the City Council. The City Council shall approve or disapprove plats for the subdivision of land within the City. (Ord. 3799, §1)

This Article shall apply to all land which has been subdivided if the subdivision was recorded after November 1, 1973, and to any lot or lots which re-subdivided after November 1, 1973. It is not the intent of this Article to interfere with or impair existing provisions of other laws, ordinances or covenants, except those specifically repealed by this Article. Where this Article imposes greater restriction upon land than is imposed or required by such existing laws, ordinances, or covenants, the provisions of this Article shall control. (Ord. 3485)

(Return to Contents)




Sec. 42-22.2. Conditions.

Regulation of the subdivision of land and the attachment of reasonable conditions is a valid exercise of the police power delegated by the State of Missouri to the City. The subdivider has the duty of compliance with reasonable conditions established by the Commission and City Council for design, dedication, improvement and land use so as to conform to the appropriate and economic development of the City; and to promote the safety and general welfare of future landowners in the City. The subdivision of land is a privilege conferred through these regulations to private property owners. (Ord. 3485)

Sec. 42-23. Application of Regulations and Enforcement

No person shall divide a lot, tract or parcel of land into two (2) or more lots, tracts, or parcels nor shall any person install a new street, alley, easement, water, sewer or electrical line or any other public improvement except in conformity with this Article; provided, however, that a real estate transaction involving the sale or exchange of a tract or parcel between contiguous platted properties, said tract or parcel sold or exchanged not being in excess of five thousand (5,000) square feet in area, where such sale or exchange does not create an additional lot(s), require any new public improvements or dedications, or violate provisions of the zoning code, shall be exempt from the requirements of this Article.

(1) Recording a Plat: No property description of any subdivision shall be entitled to be recorded in the county Recorder's office or have any validity until it shall have been approved in the manner prescribed herein. In the event any such un-approved property description is recorded, it shall be considered invalid and the City Attorney may cause proceedings to be instituted to have such plat or deed declared invalid. Recording of the property description approved in the manner herein prescribed shall be conclusive evidence of the validity of the subdivision.

(2) Sale of Land in a Subdivision: No owner or agent of the owner of any land located in the City shall transfer, sell, offer, or agree to sell any land by metes and bounds description or other reference when the sale, transfer, or development of the land would affect a subdivision of land within the meaning of this Article and before such land has been subdivided in accordance with these regulations and recorded in the office of the Recorder of Deeds of Phelps County.

(3) Permits: The Community Development Department shall not issue permits of any kind for improvement on land which do not meet the definition of "lot" as contained herein. For the purposes of constructing a building, permits may be issued for a tract or parcel of land consisting of two (2) or more contiguous lots or one lot and a portion of another lot and considered as a single lot if the proposed building(s) shall cross interior lot lines rather than being placed closer to a side, rear, or front lot line than otherwise allowed by ordinance.

(4) Public Improvements: The City and its Boards, Commissions and agents shall withhold all public improvements of whatever nature, including the furnishing or maintenance of streets, utilities and sewerage facilities from all subdivisions subject to this ordinance which have not been approved, and from all areas dedicated to the public which have not been accepted by the City Council, in the manner prescribed herein. Upon notice from the Community Development Director or the City Engineer to the Rolla Municipal Utilities of a violation of this ordinance, it shall be unlawful for the Utility to supply utility services to the subject property until properly subdivided as prescribed herein.

(5) Revision of a Plat. After Approval: No changes, erasures, modification or revisions shall be made in any final plat of a subdivision or in any metes and bounds description after approval has been given under the provisions of these regulations. (Ord. 3485)

Sec. 42-24. Variances.

The Commission may approve a variance from the provisions of this Article where it finds that an undue hardship or practical difficulty may result from requiring strict compliance with this Article. A variance may be approved so that substantial justice may be achieved and the public interest secured, provided that any such variance shall not have the effect of nullifying the expressed purpose of this Article. No application for preliminary plat which would create conditions requiring a variance or exception from zoning regulations by the Board of Adjustment, shall be submitted to the Commission unless and until the applicant's petition for variance or exception shall have been first approved by the Board of Adjustment. (Ord. 3485)

(Return to Contents)




Sec. 42-24.1. Conditions of Variance Approval.

No variance shall be granted by the Commission unless it is found that:

(1) The granting of the variance would not be detrimental to the public safety, health, or welfare or be injurious to other property or improvements in the vicinity of the subject property; and

(2) The conditions upon which the request for variance is based are unique to the property for which the variance is sought, are generally not applicable to other properties, and are not self-imposed; and

(3) Because of the particular physical surroundings, shape or topographical feature of the specific property involved, a particular hardship to the owner would result, as distinguished from a mere inconvenience, depriving the owner of the reasonable use of his land should the strict interpretation of these regulations be enforced.

(4) The variance will not in any manner abrogate the goals, objectives, or policies of the Rolla Comprehensive Plan. (Ord. 3485)

(Return to Contents)




Sec. 42-24.2. Authority to Grant Variances.

The Commission shall be empowered to grant variances with respect to the improvements and the design standards relative to lot dimension and arrangement, street location, alignment, the location and alignment of easements, building lines and similar standards. The Commission may establish certain conditions on variance approval that will, in the judgment of the Commission, substantially secure the purpose of this Article. City Council shall review any denial for a variance or any conditions attached to a variance approval only upon a written appeal by an applicant and only upon the written record made before the Commission. (Ord. 3485)

(Return to Contents)




Sec. 42-24.3. Variance Procedure.

Variances shall be reviewed in accordance with one of the following procedures:

(1) Requests for variances may be submitted concurrently with the preliminary plat or final plat if it is a minor subdivision and reviewed with the subdivision. The written variance request shall state precisely the provisions from which a variance is needed along with the reasons for the variance, particularly as the request relates to the conditions of variance approval.

(2) Requests for variances may be submitted independent of plat review if the applicant can show good cause why such request was not made when the plat was filed.

(3) Within thirty (30) days after Commission has acted on a variance, the City Council may elect to conduct an independent review of any variance request and may grant, reverse, modify, or affirm the decision by the Commission based on the conditions for variance approval. (Ord. 3485)

Sec. 42-25.5. Cluster Subdivisions.

(1) Purpose: Cluster subdivisions may be approved which will result in improved living and working environments; which will promote affordable housing by reducing development costs and encourage a variety of dwelling types; which will support ingenuity and originality in total subdivision design; and which will preserve open space for recreational, scenic and public service purposes. To achieve these purposes:

(a) Variations in lot areas, widths, lot coverage and setbacks are permitted as long as overall dwelling unit densities established for the respective residential zoning district are not exceeded;

(b) Flexibility in the forms of property ownership and building types are allowed as long as only the uses in the particular zoning district are permitted;

(c) Procedures are established to assure adequate maintenance and restricted use of open space areas for the inhabitant's benefit only or for dedication to public use; and

(d) Procedures are established to assure adequate protection of existing and potential developments adjoining the proposed cluster subdivision.

(2) Cluster Subdivision Standards: The minimum size of a lot of record within a residential cluster subdivision shall be:

(a) Three-thousand (3,000) square feet in the R-R (rural residential district) and R-l (single family district);

(b) Two-thousand (2,000) square feet in the R-2 (two family district); and

(c) One-thousand (1,000) square feet in the R-3 (multi-family district).

(3) Cluster Open Space Requirements: All lot size reductions shall be compensated for by an equivalent amount of land permanently preserved as open space or common area; excluding parking lots, private drives, open storage areas or any land which has been or will be conveyed to a public agency under a purchase agreement or to meet the park land dedication requirements. The open space may be dedicated to the public in the manner prescribed herein or may remain in private ownership. If privately owned, the subdivider shall provide documentation satisfactory to the Director, Commission and City Council that the appropriate legal arrangements have been or will be put in place to assure its maintenance and preservation.

(4) Cluster Subdivision Approval: Cluster subdivisions shall be considered as a major subdivision and shall be approved using the procedure outlined in Sec. 42-25.2., except that the sketch plan review shall be mandatory. The proposed cluster subdivision shall be consistent with the Rolla Comprehensive Plan and:

(a) Will be adequately served by essential public facilities and services such as streets, sewerage, public water and electric supply, police and fire protection, and storm water drainage structures; or the person responsible for the establishment of the proposed cluster subdivision will provide these facilities and services;

(b) Will provide usable and accessible open space for recreation or public use based on the size, shape, and topographic characteristics of the site; and

(c) Will include open space with significant and irreplaceable natural and manmade features. (Ord. 3485)

Where not shown on any map or plan, the arrangement and other design standards of streets shall conform to the provisions found herein.

(2) Relation to Adjoining Streets: The arrangement of streets in new subdivisions shall make provision for the continuation of the existing streets into the abutting subdivision or tract where appropriate.

(3) Projection of Streets: When a new subdivision adjoins unplatted or undeveloped land, new streets shall be carried to the boundaries of such tract. A temporary turnaround approved by the City Engineer shall be installed at this point unless the terminus of the new street is less than two hundred (200) feet from the intersecting right-of-way of an existing street.

All new subdivisions of twenty-five (25) lots or more shall be designed to provide at least two means of ingress and egress to the subdivision using a public street. The City Engineer may approve the use of dead-end streets abutting undeveloped property with the understanding that a connecting street will be constructed to provide ingress and egress once said abutting property is developed. (Ord. 3799, §3)

(4) Street Jogs Prohibited: Street jogs with centerlines offsets of less than one hundred fifty (150) feet shall be prohibited.

(5) Dead-end Street or Cul-de-Sac: Dead-end streets or cul-de-sacs shall require a turnaround at intervals not to exceed six hundred (600) feet and shall be provided at the closed end with a turnaround having an outside roadway diameter of at least eighty-four (84) feet and a minimum property line diameter of one hundred (100) feet. If a dead-end street is of a temporary nature, the City Engineer may require a similar turnaround along with provisions made for the future extension of the street. The City Engineer may approve alternative turnaround standards, such as "hammerhead" or "Y" configurations, if adequately designed to provide traffic circulation and better land use.

(6) Marginal Access or Service Streets: Where a subdivision abuts or contains an existing arterial street or highway the Commission may require marginal access streets or other treatment as may be necessary for adequate protection of residential areas and to separate through and local traffic.

(7) Minor Streets: Minor streets shall be arranged so as to discourage through traffic, to permit efficient drainage and utility systems, and to require the minimum number of streets necessary to provide convenient and safe access to all properties.

(8) Street Widths: The right-of-way width required to be dedicated and the pavement width required to be constructed shall be:

Street Type Right of Way Width*** Pavement Width****
Cul-de-Sac 50’ 30’

by the City Engineer for commercial or industrial areas.
**** Measured from the back of the curb.

(9) Low-Density Residential Subdivisions: In low-density, single-family residential subdivisions, pavement widths of minor streets not designed to accommodate through traffic may be reduced to twenty (20) feet. Sidewalks may not be required along minor streets. The City Engineer may waive requirements for curb and guttering if adequate provisions have been made for storm water drainage. The subdivision must comply with the following criteria:

(10) Intersections: Streets shall intersect one another at as near a ninety (90) degree angle as is possible. No intersection of streets at angles less than seventy (70) degrees shall be approved. At each street intersection the property line at the block corner shall be rounded with a curve having a radius of not less than twenty five (25) feet. The intersection of more than two (2) streets at any one (1) point shall be prohibited.

(11) Subdivision into Tracts Larger than Ordinary Building Lots: Where a tract is subdivided into larger parcels than ordinary building lots, as determined by the Director, such parcels shall be arranged so as to allow the opening of future streets and future subdivision.

(12) Curves: A tangent of at least one hundred (100) feet in length shall be introduced between reverse curves on all streets, except for minor streets.

(13) Street Grades: The subdivider shall provide the City Engineer with development plans and drawings which show the grades of all streets and curbs within each subdivision. Street grades shall not exceed five (5) percent for arterial streets, seven (7) percent for collectors, and nine (9) percent for minor or lesser streets. No street grades shall be less than one-half (1/2) of one (1) percent.

(14) Reserve Strips: Reserve strips that control access to abutting streets and, as determined by the Director, do not provide sufficient area to be of practical use under the area's existing zoning classification, shall be prohibited except under conditions approved by the Commission and City Council or for double or reversed frontage lots.

(15) Parallel Streets: Where a subdivision borders on or contains a railroad or a limited access street right-of-way, the Commission may require the construction of a parallel street on one (1) or both sides of such right-of-way, at a distance suitable for the appropriate use under present zoning of the intervening land. Such distances shall also be determined with due regard for the requirements of approach grade separation.

(16) Half-Street Prohibited: Half-streets shall be prohibited except where essential to the reasonable development of a subdivision in conformity with the other requirements of this Article and with the approval of the City Engineer. Wherever a half-street is adjacent to a tract to be subdivided, the other half of the street right-of-way shall be platted within such tract.

(17) Street Names and Numbers: Names of new streets shall not duplicate existing or platted street names unless the new street is a continuation of, or in alignment with, the existing or platted street. In such cases, it shall carry the name of the existing street. Names shall be easily spelled and pronounced. Street addresses shall be assigned in compliance with the addressing system of the City.

(18) Access to Streets Across Ditches: The subdivider shall provide access from all platted lots to all proposed streets across drainage or other ditches in accordance with standards of the Public Works Department.

(19) Street Vacations: The Commission shall not recommend the vacation of any street or part thereof of a dedicated street if such vacation will interfere with access to the public street of any abutting property or with the uniformity or improvement of the existing street system.

(20) Private Streets: Private streets are discouraged and may be permitted only where the City Council finds: (a) that private ownership, control and maintenance of street right-of-way is integral to the design and function of the subdivision; (b) provision has been made for the continuing and adequate maintenance of such streets; (c) there is evidence that the property rights, including rights of access of persons purchasing land within and adjacent to the subdivision, are safeguarded to the degree they would be protected if the streets were dedicated to the public; (d) the public interest and welfare is not jeopardized. Private streets shall be improved in accordance with City standards and specifications. (Ord. 3485)

Sec. 42-26.3. Alleys.

Alleys may be platted in any subdivision with right-of-way widths of no less than twenty (20) feet. Dead -end alleys shall not be permitted, except where adequate turnaround is provided. (Ord. 3485)

(Return to Contents)




Sec. 42-26.4. Utility Easements.

An easement for utilities shall be provided along the side and/or rear lot lines where necessary to form a continuous easement of at least ten (10) feet in width. If necessary to accommodate the extension of water or sewer lines, to provide space for pole guys for overhead lines along the periphery of a subdivision, or when unusual circumstances require additional space, a utility easement width of twenty (20) feet or greater may be required. Where possible, utility easements shall connect to easements already established in adjoining properties. Drainage easements of varying widths and locations for storm water management may also be required as determined by the City Engineer. The City and all authorized utility providers shall have ingress and egress rights to all dedicated easements. (Ord. 3485)

(Return to Contents)




Sec. 42-26.5. Blocks.

Block lengths shall not exceed thirteen hundred twenty feet (1320) feet, nor be less than three hundred (300) feet, except as permitted by the Commission and City Council because of unusual conditions.

(Return to Contents)




Sec. 42-26.6. Lots.

(1) Dimensions: Lot dimensions shall conform to the requirements of the zoning ordinance minimum standards, but may reflect greater area and lot widths. Building area lines shall be shown to establish required setback distances.

(2) Location: All lots, parcels, or tracts shall abut by their full frontage on a publicly dedicated street right-of-way. As an option for non-residential development, access to a publicly dedicated street may be provided through a recorded private cross or access easement of sufficient width to accommodate emergency vehicles, to permit the installation of utilities, to provide access for public services, and that is not detrimental to the future subdivision of adjacent land. The easement shall be recorded as part of the platting process. In all cases, each individual lot, parcel, or tract shall be assured safe and reasonable vehicular access to and from an approved public street on an all weather surfaced private street or driveway constructed in accordance with Sec. 42-241. (Ord. 3799, §4).

(3) Lines: Side lot lines shall be substantially at right angles to straight street lines or radial to curved street lines.

(4) Corner Lots: Corner lots shall be provided extra width to permit required building setbacks.

(5) Flooding: Lots located entirely within Zone A, B, or C on the City's Flood Insurance Rate Map subject to periodic flooding and deemed by the Director and the City Engineer to be a danger to public health and safety if developed for residential use shall not be platted or used for human habitation. Lots or tracts subject to periodic flooding may be platted and dedicated for recreational use, open space, or other uses that will not increase the potential flood hazard in the drainage basin.

(6) Lot Remnants: All lot remnants below the minimum permitted size shall be added to adjacent lots, rather than permitted to remain as unusable parcels.

(7) Double Frontage and Reverse Frontage Lots: Double or reverse frontage lots shall be avoided, except where required to provide separation of development from highway or arterial streets or to overcome specific topographic disadvantages. A ten (10) foot strip shall be reserved in addition to any setback requirement, across which there shall be no right of access, along the lots abutting such highway or arterial for the construction of a solid fence or other improvement (including walls, plantings, berms, etc.). This strip shall be shown on the plat along with any required improvements. (Ord. 3485)

(8) Flag Lots: Flag lots may be platted when the following criteria are met:

Sec. 42-27. Dedication of Public Parks; Alternative Payment In Lieu of Parkland Dedication.

All residential lot splits of more than two (2) lots shall, as part of the final plat process, dedicate land or an equivalent fee-in-lieu payment for open space for public use. This requirement shall be in addition to any private open space or recreation facilities designated for the sole benefit of the subdivision residents. The City Council may waive park dedication or payment in lieu requirements for subdivisions targeted to providing affordable housing as determined by the Director. The area of such open space for public use shall be within the general area of the development or be of a community nature to serve the needs created by such development and shall meet the following requirements: (Ord. 3799, §5).

(1) Streets and Alleys: The subdivider shall grade and pave all new streets and alleys (if any) within the subdivision. All streets shall be bound by curb and gutter, unless exempted. It is the City's policy to participate in or contribute only to certain additional costs for the construction of collector or arterial streets over and above the normal construction costs for minor street standards, when such collector and arterial streets are identified on the Official Map, the Major Thoroughfare Plan, or when designated by the City Engineer. Such participation is not mandatory and is solely at the election of the City Council. (Ord. 3799, §6)
