109 <br /> ORANGE COUNTY <br /> BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS <br /> ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT <br /> Meeting Date April 1. 1985 <br /> Action Agenda <br /> • <br /> Item # P' :41-49 <br /> SUBJECT: SUBDIVISION REGULATIONS TEXT AMENDMENT-DEFINITIONS-SUBDIVISION <br /> - <br /> DEPARTMENT: PLANNING PUBLIC HEARING Yes x No <br /> Attachment(s) Information Contact: SUSAN SMITH <br /> See February 25, 1985 Public <br /> Hearing Agenda packet. <br /> Draft 3/12/85 Public Hearing Minutes <br /> Draft 3/18/85 Planning Board Minutes <br /> Telephone Numbers <br /> Hillsborough - 732-8181 <br /> Durham - 688-7331 <br /> Mebane - 227-2031 <br /> Chapel Hill - 968-4501 <br /> PURPOSE: To consider a proposed amendment to the Subdivision Regulations <br /> which would replace the current definition of a "Subdiv'sion" <br /> defined, which was submitted to public hearing on February 25, <br /> 1985 and March 12, 1985 for approval. <br /> NEED: The wording of the definition of "subdivision" currently <br /> contained in the Orange County Subdivision Regulations differs <br /> slightly from thelording for "subdivision" in the enabling <br /> legislation. <br /> The most substantial difference in wording is in the first <br /> exemption to regulation. The Orange County Subdivision <br /> Regulations refers to "the combination or recombination of <br /> portions of previously platted lots" whereas the General ' <br /> - Statutes refers to "the recombination or combination of <br /> previusly subdivided and recorded lots". The latter provides <br /> for subdivision by a recorded deed or plat while the former <br /> provides only subdivision by plat. <br /> IMPACT: Amendment of the Ordinance would assure that administration of <br /> • the Subdivision Ordinance is consistent with the State general <br /> enabling legislation. <br /> RECOMMENDATION: <br /> The Planning Board recommends that the proposed amendment to <br /> the Subdivision Regulations be approved. <br />
