VOTE: UNANIMOUS b. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT PROCEDURES This item was presented by Planning Director Marvin Collins for the purpose of receiving citizen comment on a proposed amendment to the Subdivision Regulations. This procedure would change the certificate required on a final subdivision plat by the owner of the property being subdivided. The Certificate of Dedication and Maintenance is a required statement on the Final Plat and on the Declaration of Restrictions and Requirements which is signed by the owners) of the property being subdivided. By signing the certificate, the owner certifies that he or she is the owner, that all easements, rights -of -way, and common areas are duly granted for the purposes stated on the plat, and that all improvements/ common areas will be maintained until taken over by a public agency or homeowners association, etc. The current language in Section V -D -6 -b of the Subdivision Regulations for the certificate only implies that the person signing is the owner of the property. The proposed amendment will expressly state the certification of ownership. THERE WERE NO QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FROM THE BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS, PLANNING BOARD OR CITIZENS. A motion was made by Commissioner Willhoit, seconded by Commissioner Gordon, to refer the proposed amendment to the Planning Board for a recommendation to be returned to the Board of Commissioners no sooner than August 3, 1992. Commissioners Willhoit and Gordon withdrew their motion and second. No vote was taken. Betty Eidenier stated that this item was not presented to the Planning Board according to the established procedure. She indicated that she perceived this as a serious problem. The Ordinance Review Committee did not review this and send it to the Planning Board. The first mention she heard of this proposed amendment was at a Regular Board of County Commissioner's meeting. Marvin Collins indicated that he did not totally disagree with Ms. Eidenier's comments. However, this proposed project has great potential for a positive impact. Orange County has not had a project with this great a potential for positive results in quite some time. He indicated that the County needs to be more flexible in their attitude toward development. John Link indicated that staff was not trying to circumvent the procedures, however, he supports Mr. Collin's comment that the County needs to be more responsive.
