A. The city engineer shall review each short subdivision to determine, in accordance with the purposes of this title, whether there is an existing or future need for public access through a proposed short subdivision. If such a need exists, the city engineer may recommend that the short subdivision be denied and the applicant be instructed to proceed with a full subdivision including construction of public roads. If it is determined the need for public roads does not exist, the city engineer may recommend to the city planner the approval of a short subdivision with lots served only by private access. In such a case the access shall be designed in accordance with Algona’s public works standards and recommendations of the mayor or his or her designee.

B. The dedication of right-of-way either along an existing road or to provide for a future road as a condition of approval may be required. (Ord. 1190-21 § 2 (Exh. A), 2021; Ord. 1111-15 § 1; Ord. 1016-08 § 2).
