26 <br /> <br />• Allows staff (i.e. Planning, Environmental Health, etc.) to review and <br />comment on the proposal. <br />• There is a $140.00 application fee. <br />– Final Plat: <br />• Completed by surveyor. <br />• Approved by Planning, Environmental Health, and signed off by School <br />Board (CAPS). <br />• There is a $140.00 application fee. <br />• New law means a 3 lot division of property, meeting criteria, is only required to submit a <br />Final Plat containing the information required under NC General Statute 47-30. <br />• Staff cannot require they go through the Concept Plan application process or even apply <br />for Environmental Health (i.e. septic and well) review. <br />• All staff can do is verify is that they meet the aforementioned applicable criteria. <br /> <br />Proposal: <br />Staff is proposing to amend the UDO to incorporate these changes in order to ensure local land <br />use regulations are consistent with applicable State law. <br /> <br />Please note if the amendment is not adopted, the County is still obligated to process requests <br />consistent with applicable State standards. <br /> <br />Recommendation <br />The Manager recommends the Board: <br />1. Receive the proposed amendments; <br />2. Conduct the public hearing and accept comment; <br />3. Close the public hearing. (Note that, because this is a legislative decision, additional <br />comments at a later date are permitted); and <br />4. Decide on one of the following options: <br />a. Adopt the proposed amendments by approving the Statement of Consistency <br />(Attachment 4) and Ordinance (Attachment 5). <br />b. Defer a decision to a later BOCC regular meeting date. <br />c. Refer the item back to the Planning Board for a specific purpose. <br /> <br />Commissioner Marcoplos asked if well and septic systems still go through the process. <br />Michael Harvey said under the current regulator process, the County can compel people <br />to go through the process as part of concept plan review. He said applicants seeking an <br />expedited process are encouraged to voluntarily go through the process before they record, so <br />if there are any modifications to the plat, it is better to know this prior to paying fees to have the <br />document recorded. He said Environmental Health has tried its best to accommodate the fact <br />that State law says the process can be skipped, to a certain degree. <br />Commissioner Marcoplos said the intent here is to help people go through the process <br />more quickly. <br /> <br />A motion was made by Commissioner Burroughs, seconded by Commissioner Jacobs <br />for the Board to open the public hearing. <br /> <br />VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br /> <br />NO PUBLIC COMMENT <br />
