16 <br /> DRAFT <br /> 548 advisory committee meetings that Taylor runs every other week,the fire marshal is there and, if <br /> 549 needed,the fire chiefs. The subdivision you saw the fire chief had a lot to say about that one, and <br /> 550 he reviews these and sometimes he has comments. Like, if they're doing 11-foot width, he's not <br /> 551 going to be happy and he'll let them know. But there's not much we can actually do. <br /> 552 <br /> 553 Beth Bronson: As long as its applicable zoning requirements are met. <br /> 554 <br /> 555 Cy Stober: That's correct. <br /> 556 <br /> 557 Beth Bronson: Thank you. <br /> 558 <br /> 559 Statler Gilfillen: Where was that site,where is that located? <br /> 560 <br /> 561 Cy Stober: That's at Arthur Minnis and Rocky Ridge. And then we get to minor and major,so you remember <br /> 562 the state law said we can provide,we can regulate different types of subdivisions as we see fit. <br /> 563 So,we have two classifications, minor and major, and then we provide for two options, so we <br /> 564 really have four different types of subdivisions. We have minor conventional,which is no more <br /> 565 than five lots that meet the zoning requirements, or we have minor flexible developments which is <br /> 566 no more than 12 lots. And then we also have the same for majors, but the lot count is different, <br /> 567 and we'll get to that in a moment. So, this is how we define what a minor subdivision is and how <br /> 568 we then regulate it accordingly. There are major subdivision regulations that don't apply to minor <br /> 569 subdivisions, because they're less intensive. We don't get a lot of minor regulated subdivisions. <br /> 570 They represent 35 percent of our cases every year on average, and our peak was a couple years <br /> 571 ago, but yeah that's generally what we see. A lot of people will try to figure out how to do,frankly, <br /> 572 an expedited subdivision rather than go through a minor regulated subdivision. If they have that <br /> 573 type of, if they don't have more than 20 acres, they're probably going to see that the investment <br /> 574 they'll need to make is not worthwhile for their return they're trying to get unless they're really <br /> 575 appealing to, in my opinion, higher-end home builders that would pay them a pretty penny for <br /> 576 those lots. But this is an example for a minor regulated. They're creating three new lots, and they <br /> 577 are regulated accordingly. <br /> 578 <br /> 579 Beth Bronson: Becoming four lots and then the road. <br /> 580 <br /> 581 Cy Stober: Oh sorry yep, four resulting lot. That is three,three total? Yeah. <br /> 582 <br /> 583 Beth Bronson: That is, I am trying to kind of understand. Like can you sub divide it three more times or just three <br /> 584 times? <br /> 585 <br /> 586 Cy Stober: Yeah, so,well, if,we do have a lot count that we do, but you will see that there is a 10-year period <br /> 587 that applies in the definitions of the ordinance to how many lots should be on the total tract of land. <br /> 588 So,we do have somewhat of a shot clock. Have we ever had cascade like back-to-back minor <br /> 589 regulated on a tract of land? Yeah.We have seen folks do an expedited subdivision and then <br /> 590 adjacent to that a minor regulated subdivision. So, they will have a net lot number of eight. Say <br /> 591 they will do five lots for the regulated subdivision,and they will choose an expedited route for the <br /> 592 residual tract acreage and use the expedited tool, pardon me, and we cannot really do anything <br /> 593 about that because the state law says we are not allowed to regulate it if they're meeting our <br /> 594 zoning standards. <br /> 595 <br /> 596 Beth Bronson: Even if it is using the same road? <br /> 597 <br /> 598 Cy Stober: Correct. Especially if they have recorded means of ingress and egress,then they have satisfied <br /> 599 the state standards. <br /> 600 <br /> 601 Beth Bronson: But if you have to have an easement through a tract of land to get to the rest of it,just I guess it <br /> 602 just depends on where it is positioned. <br />
