§ 66-181. Number of lots versus improvement standards.

By permitting varying numbers of lots and varying levels of improvements, regulations enable the small developer to provide for growth in the rural, more slowly developing area of the county characterized by a lower lot absorption rate. Less restrictive development standards are imposed according to quantity of lots to allow for flexibility in subdivision sizes.

Subdivision Type	Required Improvements
Intra-family land transfer	None. Ingress and egress easements of not less than 30 feet to county road. Limited to one time per eligible family member for each tract of land to be subdivided.
Minor subdivision—5 or fewer lots	None. Ingress and egress easements of not less than 30 feet to a county road are required.
Major subdivision of 10 or fewer lots	Site grading for adequate drainage; street signs; subdivision entrance regulation consistent with the requirements of section 66-182(11); and paved access to an existing paved street, road or highway, provided, however, that paved access shall not be required if all lots in the proposed subdivision are located on the right-of-way of an existing county road.
Major subdivision of 11 or more lots	Paved access to an existing paved street, road or highway; community water supply and system; sewage system if soil is unable to support the required number of on-site sewage disposal units; storm drainage system; site grading for adequate drainage; and street signs
