limmm Changes have occurred in the North Carolina Uniform Plat Law which establish minimum and maximum dimensions for subdivision plats - no smaller than 8-1/2"x11" or greater than 21"x30". Margin dimensions are also established - 1-1/2" on the left border and 1/2" on all other borders. The current Subdivision Regulations allow either (a) 21"x30", (b) 12"x18" or (c) 18"x24" plat sizes. The amendment would eliminate confusion between the regulations/requirements administered by the Planning Department and the Register of Deeds and Land Records Departments. The Planning Board recommends approval of amendment. There were no comments or questions. 5. INSPECTION FEE SCHEDULE The presentation was made by Collins. This agenda item is to receive public comment on proposed amendments to the Inspection Fee Schedule. On July 8, 1986, an updated schedule of fees for planning, erosion control and building inspection services was adopted by the Board of Commissioners. Since adoption of the schedule, it has become apparent that revisions are necessary to clarify certain fees and other "miscellaneous" schedules which were not foreseen earlier. The proposed amendments would clarify the application of fees to certain types of construction and plan review/approval procedures. In addition, the provision regarding "Late Fees" would be incorporated again, and all schedules containing fees ending in $.50 would be rounded off to be consistent with the computerized permit system program. The proposed amendments would also add fees for various "miscel- laneous" inspections such as the moving and demolition of buildings, commercial and campaign signs, swimming pools and radio/TV towers. Fees would also be established to provide for the reimbursement of Town of Chapel Hill Engineering Staff inspecting streets, storm drainage, and water and sewer facilities constructed to Town standards. Commissioner Carey inquired about the "Change of Occupancy/Use (Existing Building) ". Collins responded this item is related to a requirement in the North Carolina State Building Code where different classes of occupancy are defined such as retail, office, etc. Carey noted the need for clarification and Collins agreed that this could be changed to read "Change in Class of Occupancy". Commissioner Lloyd asked for clarification on campaign signs and inquired how it could be enforced. Collins responded that the present Sign Ordinance allows campaign signs and specifies locations and sizes of the signs.
