§§ 150.13 THROUGH 150.14 RESERVED.
ARTICLE C: PROCEDURE FOR REVIEW AND APPROVAL OF SUBDIVISION PLATS
Pursuant to state law, a final plat shall be prepared, approved, and recorded pursuant to the provisions of this chapter whenever any subdivision of land takes place. Whenever any manipulation of property lines or property boundaries takes place within the jurisdiction of the town as established in § 150.03 of this chapter that is exempt from these regulations as provided by § 150.10 of this chapter, a plat clearly displaying such change must be presented to the Subdivision Administrator. Said plat must also be presented to the Alexander County Register of Deeds for recordation.
(Ord. 01-2000, passed 6-27-00)
Pursuant to state law, no final plat of a subdivision within the jurisdiction of the town as established in § 150.03 of this chapter shall be recorded by the Register of Deeds of Alexander County until it has been approved by the proper board or official as provided herein. To secure such approval of a final plat, the subdivider shall follow the procedures established in this article.
(Ord. 01-2000, passed 6-27-00) Penalty, see § 150.53
(A) All subdivisions shall be considered major subdivisions except those defined as minor subdivisions in this section. Major subdivisions shall be reviewed in accordance with the procedures in §§ 150.23 through 150.25. Minor subdivisions shall be reviewed in accordance with the provisions in §§ 150.18 through 150.22.
(B) For purposes of these regulations, a minor subdivision is defined as a subdivision:
(1) Involving not more than five lots fronting on an existing approved street;
(2) Not involving any new street or prospectively requiring any new street for access to interior property;
(3) Not requiring extension of public sewage or water lines or creation of new drainage easements through lots to serve property at the rear;
(4) Not adversely affecting the development of the remainder of the parcel or of adjoining property;
(5) Creating no new or residual parcels not conforming to the requirements of these regulations; and
(6) All included land must be under ownership of one sponsor.
(Ord. 01-2000, passed 6-27-00)
If the land to be subdivided meets the requirements of a minor subdivision as defined in § 150.17(B) above, the subdivider will not have to follow the same procedures as for a major subdivision. The review process for minor subdivisions shall be adequate to protect the public interest, but shall also provide minimum delay and expense to the subdivider. A preliminary plat is required. The following minor plat approval process may be used only where the subdivision meets the requirements of § 150.17(B) above.
(Ord. 01-2000, passed 6-27-00)
(A) Prior to submission of a final plat, the subdivider shall submit to the Subdivision Administrator three copies of a sketch plan of the proposed subdivision containing the following information:
(1) A sketch vicinity map showing the location of the subdivision in relation to neighboring tracts, subdivisions, roads, and waterways;
(2) The boundaries of the tract and the portion of the tract to be subdivided;
(3) The total acreage to be subdivided;
(4) The existing and proposed uses of the land within the subdivision and the existing uses of land adjoining it;
(5) The existing street layout and right-of-way width, lot layout and size of lots;
(6) The name, address and telephone number of the owner;
(7) The name, if any, of the proposed subdivision;
(8) Streets and lots of adjacent developed or platted properties;
(9) The zoning classification of the tract and of adjacent properties;
(10) The location of water and sewer facilities serving the proposed minor subdivision, if applicable;
(11) A statement from the Alexander County Health Department that a copy of the sketch plan has been submitted to them, if septic tanks or other on-site water or wastewater systems are to be used in the subdivision.
(B) The Subdivision Administrator shall review the sketch plan for general compliance with the requirements of this article, and shall advise the subdivider or his authorized agent of the regulations pertaining to the proposed minor subdivision and the procedures to be followed in the preparation and submission of the final plat.
(C) The Subdivision Administrator, after determining that all requirements of this article have been met, shall advise the subdivider to proceed with the preparation of a final plat, which conforms to the submitted sketch plan. The approval of the sketch plan shall in no way be construed as constituting official approval of the final plat.
(Ord. 01-2000, passed 6-27-00)
In the event that the subdivider disagrees with any findings of the Subdivision Administrator concerning approval of a sketch plan of a minor subdivision, the matter shall be taken to the Town Commissioners for a decision. No final plat shall be prepared until the Town Commissioners have acted on the disputed sketch plan.
