SUBDIVISION REGULATIONS TEXT AMEN MENr-DEFINITION OF SUBDIVISION <br /> The staff presentation was made by Smith. <br /> Planning Board Chair Gordon asked staff to further elaborate on the <br /> differences in wording. Attorney Gledhill reviewed the general enabling <br /> legislation and Orange County Subdivision Regulations indicating that the <br /> former no longer required plats, but did require subdivisions to occur either <br /> by recorded deed or recorded plat. <br /> Gordon asked what "plat" referred to. Gledhill responded a surveyed <br /> drawing. <br /> Gledhill noted that the change in enabling legislation both broadened <br /> and narrowed the definition of subdivision. He indicated that prior to the <br /> change lots could be created only by plat, but the change, though not requiring <br /> a plat, required the instrument creating the lot (either plat or deed) to be <br /> recorded. Before Subdivision Regulations, property was subdivided as one <br /> wished. Subdivision Regulations require an approved, recorded plat. <br /> Commissioner Carey asked what impact this change would have. Gledhill <br /> responded it both narrows and broadens the definition of subdivision for <br /> purposes of combinations and recombinations. <br />
