Subdivision Ordinance (Aeenda Item V)
Chairman Garcia read the agenda item into the record as follows:
"Subdivision Ordinance - Consider final draft of Subdivision Ordinance."
Mr. Keener presented copies of the most recent revisions to the Subdivision Ordinance. In
addition, he advised that legal services had been requested to review the replat procedure.
The proposed text for Section 402 was presented to the Commission and reviewed. Mr.
Keener recommended removal of Section 401. 1, which allows variances to the Subdivision
Ordinance to be granted by the Commission, to be removed from the ordinance because State
law grants the Board of Adjustment the authority to grant variances to the Subdivision
Ordinance.
The consensus of the Commission was to delete Section 401.1 and include the new text for
Section 402 as proposed.
Mr. Conner reviewed the amended Sections 603.3, 605, 610.2.3, and 610.2.6.
