What is a minor subdivision?

Per Duchesne County Code 9-1-4, a minor subdivision is a division of land into ten (10) or fewer parcels; provided, that:

• A minor subdivision survey is prepared by a professional land surveyor for review and a decision by the land use authority after the required public notice;
• Minimum lot size and other land use standards are met (or a variance granted);
• Written approval has been received from the sanitary sewer authority;
• All parcels have public right of way access and no additional right of way is required to be dedicated from the applicant's property pursuant to the official map or county standards;
• There is a water source, approved in writing by the culinary water authority;
• No further division by minor subdivision shall be allowed within one year. Further division within one year shall be accomplished by the standard subdivision process or by an amendment to a previous minor subdivision survey;
• Divisions requiring the construction of public roads, public water lines or public sewer lines are not eligible for the minor subdivision process;
• The minor subdivision survey map is recorded in the county recorder's office and filed with the county surveyor;
• HB 1001 exemption: One new minor subdivision parcel, at least one acre in size and located at least one thousand feet (1,000') away from another parcel created under this exemption, may be created from a parent parcel of at least one hundred (100) acres in size in accordance with Utah Code Annotated section 17-27a-603(4), effective October 1, 2009, including any subsequent amendments;
• Minor subdivisions containing more than one parcel designated as "not a proposed building lot" or as agricultural parcels may be approved only if such lands are deemed agricultural on the county tax rolls and the property owner(s) signs and records an agreement stating that such parcels shall remain in agricultural use until such time as the parcels are approved by the county as building lots.
