Whenever any subdivision of land is proposed,
and before any contract for the sale is carried out or title to any
part thereof is transferred, the subdividing owner, or his duly authorized
agent, shall proceed to secure approval of the proposed subdivision
in accordance with the following steps:
A. Initial conference and review (recommended but not
required).
B. Preparation of preliminary plat.
C. Preparation of final plat.
[Amended 9-5-2017 by L.L.
No. 8-2017]
This step is recommended for the benefit of the applicant, but
is not required. If followed, the procedure shall be as follows:
A. Initial conference. The applicant should notify the Planning Board Secretary, at least one week in advance of a regular Planning Board meeting, of his desire to be placed on the agenda for an initial conference. At such conference, he shall present a sketch layout of the proposed subdivision. It shall include a site location sketch (at a scale of one inch equals 800 feet) indicating the applicant's entire holdings in relation to neighboring streets, private roads and properties, and shall show the general nature of the proposed arrangement of streets, private roads, lots, recreation areas, and the proposed concept for providing utility service. The applicant should also discuss with the County Health Department its requirements in connection with subdividing. The sketch layout shall be drawn on a topographic map with a vertical contour interval of no more than five feet, at a scale of no smaller than one inch equals 100 feet. It shall be submitted in four copies. The applicant shall also provide the information required in §
223-61.4.
B. Field trip. After the initial conference, the Planning Board may
schedule a field trip to the proposed subdivision site. The applicant,
or his representative, should attend the site inspection and, prior
to it, should have the center line of all proposed streets and private
roads located by temporary stakes.
C. Planning Board recommendations. At or subsequent to the field trip,
the Planning Board shall advise the applicant, or his representative,
of the additions and modifications, if any, which should be made if
an application for subdivision approval is to be submitted.
