The revision of any lot line or lot lines shown in a subdivision
plan that has been previously approved by the Commission shall be
deemed to constitute a modification of the approved subdivision plan.
Any and all such modifications must be reviewed and approved by the
Commission. The Commission shall not hold a public hearing on any
such proposed lot line revision unless the proposed revision would
result in a resubdivision, as defined in § 8-18 of the Connecticut
General Statutes, as amended. The Commission shall approve a proposed
lot line revision unless it determines either that:
A.
One or
more of the proposed reconfigured lots would not meet any applicable
requirements of the Zoning Regulations; or
B.
The proposed
modification would result in a lot or lots that would be significantly
more difficult to develop or use because of the location of such physical
features as wetlands, watercourses, or steep or rocky areas within
the reconfigured lot or lots.
The revision of lot lines for adjoining, legally existing lots
that predate the enactment of subdivision regulations in the Town
of Ashford or that were lawfully created without subdivision approval
shall not be deemed to be a subdivision and shall not require the
review or approval of the Commission unless such revision results
in the creation of a greater number of lots or parcels than existed
before the revision.
