19 DRAFT 713 will move on. And then this is the Rigsbee plat that was just recommended for approval by this 714 board and is consistent with the zoning approval that it had before. And we have determined that 715 our subdivision review process applies in this case because it is conforming with the zoning 716 district. So,just a summary, and these are Taylor's slides. I am stealing them. Thank you. The 717 major subdivision is six to 20 lots if you are using the zoning lot minimums or 13 to 20 if you are 718 using the flexible design option. The minor subdivision is no more than five conventional lots or 719 no more than 12 flexible lots. And what are we proposing to change with this amendment 720 package? So,we are proposing to eliminate the concept plan from planning board review and 721 have that be presented at a neighborhood information meeting instead. We are proposing that the 722 preliminary plat and the final plat be able to be approved by the planning director, essentially the 723 planning staff. What would that look like in terms of review? So, this is the current review 724 approach. The amendments that are before you would change this so that the planning board 725 would be eliminated from reviewing the concept plan. We could invite you, and this was 726 discussed that as a matter of practice to the neighborhood meeting to be a part,to participate in 727 reviewing the concept plan and then remove both boards from reviewing the preliminary plat 728 provided it meets the standards of the Unified Development Ordinance. And then in the review 729 process, again,what would this look like? The changes would be that the planning staff would 730 accept the concept plan. It would be presented at the neighborhood information meeting so that 731 the public could have the opportunity to weigh in on what is being proposed and provide 732 constructive feedback. The preliminary plat, such as the Rigsbee one that was reviewed tonight, 733 would go through the planning staff as far as an application and then be presented at the 734 development advisory committee,which is the fire marshal planning staff, DOT, parks and 735 recreation, environmental health, and others,addressing, are all invited to participate and make 736 sure that the plat conforms with their standards, and then the final plat. And any change would be 737 reviewed and approved by the planning staff. And something that we are making clear with the 738 amendments is that all required permitting, so like say the road certification or any dedications for 739 amenities and so forth,would have to be permitted and approved or otherwise guaranteed. The 740 most common one of this is stormwater. We would require if the stormwater is a pond or device, 741 hopefully a device, a rain garden or a bio-retention cell has not been certified and finalized,we will 742 collect a bond for that, keep it on file at the county, and they will pay a premium on that bond until 743 they are able to complete that. We would have the leverage then to call that bond and complete 744 the work ourselves should they go bankrupt or should they walk on the project or something to 745 that effect and ruin their credit. I do not know why they would do that unless they are really in a 746 hard place, but we would have that ability. Same thing with road surfacing and landscaping. 747 Landscaping and stormwater bonds are the most common bonds that we hold at the county, but it 748 was a little unclear about the relationship with phased projects as well as how that surety is posted 749 to the county and its relationship to platting, and so the amendments try to clarify that too. 750 751 Chris Johnston: Just to clarify. So, currently we do not hold a bond for the finishing of projects for like stormwater 752 and things of that nature? 753 754 Cy Stober: No,we do. 755 756 Chris Johnston: We do. 757 758 Cy Stober: Yeah, but there is a lot of language that was about like what the HOA should do and how they 759 should hold the bond and how they should certify things, stuff that is none of our business. It is all 760 just advisory and getting us involved in HOA business,which is we do not need those headaches. 761 We do not need to be involved, and we are not, and we disregard those parts of the ordinance 762 because it is intrusive and well out of our legal purview to be involved in HOA matters. What we 763 need is when you construct a stormwater pond and you have not converted it yet, it is not ready to 764 treat stormwater, but you want to get the final permit on your final home,we say we need that 765 bond. We actually collect it far earlier than this, but we need that bond. It needs to cover 125 766 percent of the cost of construction and 1 year of maintenance. If you cannot provide that,you do 767 not have a final house. You have not provided us with a guarantee that you can actually develop
