Land use: land division; number of parcels resulting from division; modify. Amends sec. 108 of 1967 PA 288 (MCL 560.108).
This bill modifies Michigan's Land Division Act to clarify how many separate parcels can be created when a large piece of land is split. It establishes specific limits based on the size of the original land, such as allowing up to four parcels for the first 10 acres and adding more for every subsequent 10 acres. The legislation also permits additional parcels in certain cases, such as when new roads are built or if one resulting piece remains larger than 60% of the original area. Furthermore, it allows for further splitting of existing exempt parcels after 10 years, provided the new divisions meet specific size and local zoning standards. These changes aim to provide clearer rules for landowners and local officials regarding land division without requiring full platting for smaller subdivisions.
