  • It is hereby declared to be the policy of the city to consider the subdivision of land and the subsequent development of the subdivided plat as subject to the official comprehensive plan and related policies (such as those embodied in the Zoning Code of the City of Kendallville) for the orderly and efficient development of the city and its jurisdictional boundaries. Land to be subdivided shall be of such a character that it can be developed without peril to health or peril from flood, fire or other menace, and land shall not be subdivided until having access to available existing public facilities and until improvements and proper provision have been made for drainage, water, sewerage, other necessary new public improvements such as schools, parks, recreation facilities, and transportation facilities adequate for serving the subdivision. Private wells and septic systems in lieu of public water and sewer facilities are allowable where permitted under the Zoning Ordinance and approved by the Noble County Health Department. Both existing and proposed public facilities serving the subdivision shall be properly related and conform to the official city comprehensive land use plan, related policies and implementation programs including the capital budget, official map, thoroughfare plan, zoning ordinance and building codes.
