fact, it is an exempt subdivision, then none of the provisions of this ordinance with regard to platting apply. He thinks that this is not needed. Craig Benedict said that since this is a UDO it should say that it is exempt from the subdivision rules of the State, but other applicable sections may apply. Commissioner Yuhasz said that the subdivision regulations specifically deal with platting of lines and the enabling legislation specifically exempts exempt plats from the regulations. Commissioner Yuhasz made reference to page 2-61 and said that in one paragraph it references seven days and in the next paragraph it references five business days. Craig Benedict said that it should be five business days. Commissioner Yuhasz made reference to page 2-63-g and read, "if the Erosion Control plan is not required, a copy of the final plan must be signed by the Orange County Erosion Control Officer....." He said that in 30 years of preparing plats in Orange County, he has never seen an Erosion Control Officer sign a plat. He said that this is not needed. Commissioner Yuhasz made reference to page 2-64 and the applicant recording the approved plat and associated documents. He said that there has been a problem identified with all of the associated documents not always being recorded. He said that staff is now going over to the Register of Deeds to make sure that everything is actually recorded. He thinks that this should be formalized somehow. Commissioner Yuhasz made reference to page 2-66-c-2-a, and said that all references to an Orange County tax map being provided should be removed since Orange County does not provide tax maps anymore. On page 2-72, Commissioner Yuhasz made reference to a list of other agencies that are invited to make comments on proposals and that there is no deadline for those agencies to respond. Commissioner Yuhasz made reference to page 2-74-7-g and said that he did not know what"methods of certification" meant in this case. Commissioner Yuhasz made reference to Section 2.17 and vacation of recorded plats. He asked if this was saying that if someone wanted to put a subdivision back together because the lots did not sell that they had to go through a major subdivision process. Frank Clifton said that there would have to be some methodology for this. Commissioner Yuhasz asked for a better explanation of why this was needed. Discussion ensued on this issue. Chair Foushee asked if the staff could look at revising this and bring back some revised language. Commissioner Yuhasz said that he liked the layout of the districts, but it would be helpful if the table included references to the sections that explained the different parts of the table. Commissioner Yuhasz made reference to EC5 and said that there are cases where property that was commercial at the time of adoption was not identified as commercial. He thinks that the County would want to be able to zone those as EC5 if appropriate, and he does not think that this allows that. Commissioner Jacobs said that there are two different medium intensities and three different high-intensity residential designations. He said that it seems like there should be some language that could differentiate between three kinds of high-intensity residential and two kinds of medium-intensity residential.
