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:

(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.

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.
