Subdivision Regulations Text Amendments <br />(1) Section III -C-4 Action Subsequent to Approval <br />(Minor subdivision) , <br />(2) Section III- D -3(c) Action Subsequent to Approval <br />(Major Subdivision) <br />Presentation by Mary Willis. <br />The Orange County Subdivision Regulations require that subdivision plats be <br />recorded in the presence of Planning Department Staff. The purpose of this <br />provision is to insure that all required auxiliary documents, such as Road <br />Maintenance Agreement and Declarations of Restrictions are recorded with the plat. . <br />Compliance with this provision would require that a Planning Staff member <br />accompany the applicant to the Register of Deeds Office each time a final plat is to <br />be recorded. The Orange County Planning Staff and Register of Deeds Office have <br />developed a system that instead provides the Register of Deeds with a list of items to <br />be recorded with the final plat. By providing this information the Register of Deeds <br />Office knows which documents must accompany the plat, and thus the purpose of <br />the existing regulations are met without Planning Staff being present. <br />The proposed amendment was presented for public hearing on June 26, 1996. There <br />were no citizen comments. There was some discussion with the Register of Deeds to <br />clarify the purpose of the amendment. <br />The Planning Staff recommends approval of the proposed amendment (copy an <br />attachment to these minutes on pages ). <br />Jobsis asked if the concern from the Register of Deeds was addressed. Willis <br />responded that she has a letter from the Register of Deeds expressing understanding <br />and agreement with the proposed amendment. <br />MOTION: Brooks moved approval as recommended by the Planning Staff. Seconded by <br />Hoecke. <br />VOTE: Unanimous. <br />AGENDA ITEM #10: PLANNING BOARD ITEMS <br />a.
