§ 30-181. Processing.

The processing of a Type II subdivision will begin with a pre-application meeting, at which the eligibility and feasibility of the Type II subdivision proposal will be determined. The applicant and project engineer shall participate at the pre-application meeting with county and other agencies, as appropriate.

(1)

Pre-application meeting requirements.

a.

The applicant will present the concept drawing and any supporting documents (such as a written narrative detailing the proposal).

b.

The applicant will submit an 8½-inch by 11-inch concept drawing showing the land in relation to adjoining and adjacent properties and major thoroughfares, including any proposed roads.

c.

Type II subdivision development is not an alternative to subdivision phasing, and all adjoining property held by the applicant shall be taken into consideration at the pre-application meeting, to determine whether it appears the Type II subdivision application intent is to defeat the standard phasing process for subdivisions. Development programs for adjoining property owned by the applicant shall be submitted for review at the pre-application meeting.

(2)

After the pre-application meeting, proposals determined by the county to be eligible for processing as a Type II subdivision will continue processing as follows:

a.

A rezone application (if required) must be scheduled for hearing before the planning and zoning commission and the board of supervisors.

b.

Plat submittal.

1.

The applicant may, upon receipt of a tract number from the director, submit the final plat package for the Type II subdivision, conforming to articles II, III and IV of this chapter, and the adopted fee schedule, and others as applicable.

2.

The applicant shall also include with the final plat submittal any plats, documents, or other information required at the preliminary plat stage of review which would not otherwise be provided by the standard final plat submittal package. Final plat processing commences upon the completion of this combined submittal.

(3)

Period of plat processing.

a.

The final plat for a Type II subdivision must be submitted, processed, approved and recorded within two years from the date of the assignment of a tract number. If the plat is not recorded within this two-year period, the tract number and any approvals the project may have received to date will be automatically rescinded without notification, except as provided for below.

b.

If the final plat for the Type II subdivision is not recorded within two years of the issuance of the tract number for the project, processing as a Type II subdivision shall terminate. Any additional processing for this subdivision shall commence with the submittal of a preliminary plan application, as a Type I (standard) subdivision plat.

c.

Upon the recordation of a final plat for a Type II subdivision, the applicant shall have two years from the date of plat recordation to complete all subdivision improvements to the satisfaction of the county engineer, and to have secured board of supervisors approval for the acceptance of the as-built plans, or the release of the assurance.

(4)

Other provisions.

a.

Improvements for Type II subdivisions shall be the same as those for standard subdivisions, not less than the requirements defined in article IV of this chapter.

b.

All subdivision proposals shall provide, to each lot, all other improvements which may be required by other jurisdictional agencies.

c.

If during processing deviations from the regulations the director shall determine whether the processing of the plat may be continued, as detailed in these regulations, or determine another action as necessary.

d.

Type II subdivision applications shall be limited to one submission every five years for the same parent parcel or adjoining parcel(s) held by the applicant. The five-year period shall commence with the recordation date of the previous final plat, if any. The applicant may submit more than one Type II subdivision at a time, as long as each subdivision is not physically adjoining.

e.

Required lot sizes for Type II subdivisions will follow the same requirements as for Type I (standard) subdivisions, as defined in section 30-330.

(5)

Decisions of the director may be appealed to the board of supervisors.
