HCC §23-38

Rules for dividing land into large lots that may be split later

When someone divides land into large lots that might be split into smaller lots in the future, the county director can require certain block sizes, shapes, lot divisions, and building restrictions. These rules help make sure streets can be extended or opened later to allow further subdivision.

In subdividing tracts into large lots which at some future time are likely to be resubdivided, the director may require that the blocks shall be of such size and shape, be so divided into lots, and contain such building site restrictions as will provide for extension and opening of streets at intervals which will permit a subsequent division of any parcel into lots of smaller size.
