Section V (New)--Specifications for Plat Drawings <br />The Planning $oard recommended approval of the text amendments as presented <br />at the November 28, 1988 public hearing. The Administration recommends approval of the <br />proposed amendments per the Planning $oard's recommendation with one exception, the <br />change in the method of approval of "minor" subdivisions as proposed in the revision to <br />Section III-C. The Administration recommends that the minor subdivision approval <br />process remain as is until the Subdivision Regulations are amended to provide <br />consistency in the design standards applicable to major and minor subdivisions.
