A.
Plat required. Effective the date of adoption of these regulations,
any owner of any tract, parcel or lot of land located in the unincorporated
part of Allegany County who subdivides that land, creating one or
more new lots or parcels of land, shall have a plat of this subdivision
prepared in accordance with these regulations and with the provisions
of Article 66B of the Annotated Code of Maryland.
C.
Subdivision status.
(1)
Prior to preparation of any plat, the County must review the deed
record of any land being subdivided to determine its eligibility for
minor or major subdivision status. This procedure is necessary to
determine the number of lots which have been created since March 3,
1972, the effective date of the State of Maryland subdivision regulations.
The process will also determine how many lots can be created and the
types of services which need to be extended to each lot. This information
is to be noted on the plat.
(2)
It is the applicant's responsibility to submit copies of any existing
plats or deeds which transferred any part of the property being subdivided
after March 3, 1972. This may include lots created prior to the current
owner or lots created from parcels currently owned by another party.
The County will review this information and, through a joint meeting
with the state, determine the status of the land being subdivided.
D.
Remainder tract. Lots must be created in such a manner that the remainder
has frontage on a publicly dedicated right-of-way and meets lot width
and depth requirements so that it can be a buildable lot. Any portion
of a remainder that is less than two acres in size will be treated
as a subdivided lot and must be shown on the plat as such. Any remainder
tract is also subject to Maryland subdivision regulation requirements
as administered by the state and must be marked "not approved for
building" on the plat until both County and state requirements are
met.
A.
No plat of any subdivision in the unincorporated part of the County
shall be recorded in the land records of Allegany County until it
has been approved and signed by the County Engineer, the County Health
Officer and the Planning Commission Chairman or designee.
B.
Sale of lots. No land in any subdivision created after the adoption
of these regulations shall be transferred, sold or offered for sale
nor shall a building permit be issued for any structure on this land
until an approved plat of the subdivision has been recorded in accordance
with these regulations and the provisions of Article 66B of the Annotated
Code of the State of Maryland.
