SUBJECT: SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE AMENDMENTS
00��=
• Revise the plat review process to implement a process that provides staff comments to
applicants more quickly (this new process has been previously implemented on a 'trial'
basis);
• Permit only one preliminary plat to be filed at a time on a piece of property;
• For subdivision plats filed prior to October 24, 2006, allow applicants to elect to follow
either the current regulations or the regulations that were applicable at the time of
application,
• Incorporate the urban forestry plan and permit requirements from the tree preservation
ordinance;
• Align the Subdivision Ordinance with the International Fire Code so as to require
secondary entrances to residential subdivisions with 30 or more dwelling units; and
• Revise the alley design standards to enable effective waste pickup services.
During their May and July 2007 meetings, the Development Advisory Committee informally
endorsed the proposed Subdivision Ordinance amendments.
The City Plan Commission voted unanimously to recommend approval of the amendments at
their regularly scheduled meetings held in March and July of 2007.
