The Town of Carrboro is asked to comment because of its inclusion in the Joint Planning Area. Though not a part of the adopted JPA agreement, Carrboro was extended this opportunity (as was Chapel. Hill) prior to the agreement adoption. The Recreation and Parks Advisory Council was first asked to comment on Wirldwood Subdivision . Following that opportunity, it asked that it be allowed to continue with subsequent applications where Zoning lOrdinence standards required the provision of recreation epees and improvements as part of a site/subdivision. Application Deadlines The Subdivision Regulations currently provide for a seventy (70) day period within which the Planning Board must take action on a i)raliminary plat (See attachments — Section I11-0-1 and III—0—4—b)l. Failure of the Planning Board to take action is deemed approval!. of the plat. The current deadline for receipt of preliminary subdivision plats is set approximately seventeen (17) days before the regular Planning Board meeting date (see attached 1985 Approval. Schedule) , Considerable work is carried out with an applicant prior to thatItime, however, through review of sketch plans, review of preliminary plat, etc . If the subsequent application is complete !nd all agency responses are received prior to distribution of the Planning Board agenda, the application is placed on the agenda for action by the Board. If Eat agency responses havelnot been received, the application is held over until the next regular meeting date, increasing the approval period from 17 to 47 days. An advantage to this, approach is the potential for having two (2) Planning Board meetings within the 70—day period! (if postponement of a decision is desired for further study] . This is possible, however, only if the application ie presented at the first regular Planning Board meeting following application submission. The Subdivision Regulations also provide that the Board of Commissioners take action on the plan within thirty—six (35) days of the date of submission , or the data of the first meeting at whiCh the plat appears on the Board of Commissioners agenda. Currently, plats are forwarded to the Board of Commissioners end considered within two (2) weeks of Planning Board action . This permits at Least one (1 ) other Board of Commissioners meeting to take place (within the 36—day period] should deferrsl be desired for further study. Failure to act within the specified time period constitutes approval of the subdivision plat .
