The plat officer may approve minor adjustments to platted reduced building envelopes (RBE) subject to the procedures and requirements of this section.
A. Application Procedure: The subdivider, owner, or authorized agent shall make a written request for adjustments to reduced building envelopes to the plat officer. Said written request shall include an "RBE adjustment review plat" of the subject lot or lots showing the lot(s) immediately adjacent to the subject lot(s), all information shown on the preliminary plat, all easements, and proposed adjustments to the RBE (including any adjustments to the reserved septic areas, if any).
B. Review And Approval:
1. The plat officer shall review the application for adjustment of RBE and shall also submit a copy to the supervising sanitarian of the Ogle County health department for review and written approval. The plat officer and supervising sanitarian may require additional information to be submitted if necessary.
2. The plat officer and supervising sanitarian may approve an RBE adjustment only if:
a. Any proposed adjustment will not reduce below the minimum area required or encroach upon any portion of the lot reserved for sewage disposal;
b. Any proposed adjustment will not adversely affect the overall design and/or functionality of the subdivision (i.e., separation between well and reserved septic areas);
c. Any proposed adjustment will not violate the minimum building setback or yard area requirements pursuant to the Ogle County amendatory zoning ordinance.
3. The plat officer shall notify the applicant in writing promptly upon a decision being rendered as to whether or not the request for RBE adjustment has been approved.
a. If the application for RBE adjustment is not approved, the plat officer shall state the reasons for such decision.
b. If the application for RBE adjustment is approved, the applicant shall cause to be filed with the plat officer a plat of survey for the subject lot(s), indicating the adjusted RBE. The plat of survey shall be signed by the plat officer and recorded with the Ogle County recorder. The RBE adjustment shall not take effect until proof of recordation of the plat of survey has been submitted to the plat officer. (Ord., 9-21-2004)
