(A) The minor subdivision procedures shall be allowed when it is determined in the pre-application conference that five lots or less will be created; the subdivision fronts on an existing adequately improved street; does not involve any new streets; easements of access or the extension of other municipal facilities; does not adversely affect the development of the remainder of the parcel or adjoining property; and does not conflict with any provisions of the official map or other applicable regulations or plans.
(B) After the classification of the proposed subdivision as a minor subdivision it shall be processed in one step in accordance with the following procedures.
(1) (a) The subdivider shall have a survey plat prepared and stamped by a state professional licensed surveyor. The original, two paper copies, one electronic copy in an acceptable format, and the letter of application shall be submitted to the County Regional Planning Commission for review. The subdivider shall also submit one copy of the certified survey map to each of the utility companies to ascertain whether any utility easements are required; and one copy to the tax officer to ascertain whether there are any unpaid taxes.
(b) These agencies should submit comments to the County Regional Planning Commission within 15 days. If no comments are received within 15 days it shall be considered that there are no objections to the plat. The Committee shall then have a period of 30 days to approve, conditionally approve, or reject the plat. If the Committee rejects the subdivision, its objections shall be in writing.
(2) When a minor subdivision is approved by action of the Committee, the Chairperson of the Committee shall sign the plat and within 15 days submit the original, bearing his or her name and date, submitting one signed copy to the developer.
