§ 1292.01. LOT SPLITS, AREA, HEIGHT AND USE CONDITIONS AND EXEMPTIONS.

(a)

Lot Splits. This chapter shall apply to all land divisions as governed by the provisions of the Land Division Act, Act 288 of the Michigan Public Acts of 1967, as amended. Approval of any land division does not constitute use approval of any such division. Such use of land shall comply with the City of Coopersville Zoning Ordinance or any other applicable ordinance or regulation.

It is not intended by this chapter to repeal, abrogate, annul, or in any other way impair or interfere with existing provisions of other laws or ordinances, or of any private restrictions placed upon property by covenant, deed, or other private agreement; provided, however, that where any provision of this chapter imposes more stringent requirements, regulations, restrictions, or limitations upon the use of land and buildings, or upon safety and sanitary measures, or requires larger yards or open spaces than are imposed or required by the provisions of any other law or ordinance, or any said rules, regulations, permits, or easements, then the provisions of this chapter shall govern.

The purpose of this chapter is to regulate the division of land within the City of Coopersville to promote the public health, safety, and general welfare; to further the orderly layout and use of land; to require that land be suitable for building sites and public improvements; that provisions are made for adequate drainage, ingress and egress; and to ensure that land divisions are correctly and accurately approved, recorded, and filed.
