ORANGE COUNTY <br /> BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS <br /> ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT <br /> Meeting Date: June 26, 1996 <br /> Action Agenda <br /> Item #_ Vir e. <br /> SUBJECT: PROPOSED SUBDIVISION REGULATION TEXT AMENDMENT <br /> SECTION III-C-4 and III-D-3-c ACTION SUBSEQUENT TO APPROVAL <br /> DEPARTMENT: Planning PUBLIC HEARING: X Yes No <br /> BUDGET AMENDMENT REQUIRED: Yes X No <br /> ATTACHMENT(S): INFORMATION CONTACT: Eddie Kirk <br /> Extension 2582 <br /> Proposed Amendment <br /> Plat Release Form <br /> TELEPHONE NUMBERS: <br /> Hillsborough - 732-8181 <br /> Durham -688-7331 <br /> Mebane -227-2031 <br /> Chapel Hill -967-9251 <br /> PURPOSE: To receive citizen comment on a proposed amendment to delete the requirement <br /> for a Planning Staff member to be present each time a final plat is recorded in the <br /> Register of Deeds Office. <br /> BACKGROUND: The Orange County Subdivision Regulations require subdivision plats be recorded <br /> in the presence of the Planning Department. The purpose of this provision is to <br /> insure that all required auxillary documents, such as Road Maintenance <br /> Agreements and Declaration of Restrictions are recorded with the plat. <br /> Compliance with this provision would require that a Planning Staff member <br /> accompany the applicant to the Register of Deeds Office each time a final plat is <br /> to be recorded. The Orange County Planning Staff and Register of Deeds office <br /> have developed a system that provides the Register of Deeds with a list of items to <br /> be recorded with the final plat. By providing this information the need for a <br /> Planning Staff member to be present is alleviated. This allows the Register of <br /> Deeds Office to know what documents must accompany the plat. <br />
