The <br /> narrower portion extends as an arm of the lot to the <br /> street, thus the name "flag lot" . The proposed <br /> amendment will reference applicable provisions of the <br /> Orange County Subdivision Regulations which identify <br /> permitted locations and types of flag lots. <br /> Article 22 is proposed to be amended to add a <br /> definition of Flag Lot. The proposed amendment will <br /> help clarify what a flag lot is and provide a legal <br /> definition. <br /> The proposed amendments were presented at public <br /> hearing on May 23, 1988. No comments were received <br /> from the public regarding the proposals. <br /> At its June 20, 1988 meeting, the Planning Board <br /> recommended approval of the proposed amendments. <br /> RECOMMENDATION: The Administration recommends approval of the proposed <br /> amendments per the Planning Board recommendation. <br />
