Background Information:
The City Charter, City Code or the City Commission may mandate that certain non -habitable on -site
improvements be constructed, renovated or repaired on land within the City. Such improvements may
include installation of a fence to secure vacant property, construction of a bulkhead to protect property
and waterways and construction of walkways to improve public access and safety. City Code Section
55-10 currently requires that land be platted prior to the issuance of a permit to construct all
improvements other than a one -family detached dwelling. Platting regulates the subdivision of land and
aids in the coordination of land development in the community in accordance with orderly physical
patterns. Property owners of unplatted land may be unable to obtain the necessary permit to comply
with the mandate to construct the non -habitable on -site improvement. In addition, some unplatted land
may not meet the technical requirements necessary to plat the land. The City mandate to construct
certain non -habitable on -site improvements places the owner of unplatted land in an inequitable position
if the owner is unable to obtain the necessary permit. In order to rectify this inequity, it is respectfully
recommended that the City Code be amended to allow owners of unplatted property to obtain a permit to
construct non -habitable on -site improvements mandated by the City.
