Chapter 1200 deals relates to land <br />subdivisions. The draft ordinance has been published on the City web site since Jan 6. <br /> <br />Discussion: <br />The purpose of the amendment is to update certain subdivision requirement to provide <br />for clarification, remove outdated and unnecessary code language, and update the code <br />to conform to current City practices and state law, as necessary. The amendment also <br />removes the mailed notice requirement for the public hearing required for preliminary <br />plat applications, and further eliminates the requirement that the Planning and Zoning <br />Commission review and make recommendations on all final plat applications. The <br />amendment also eliminates the platting exception for minor subdivisions and requires <br />platting in the case of any subdivision or lot line rearrangement. Finally, the amendment <br />requires platting applicants to adhere to all requirements of the city attorney’s plat <br />opinion and have issued a title insurance policy in the name of the city prior to final plat <br />approval. <br /> <br />Strategic Plan Strategy/Goal: <br />Maintain and plan for infrastructure improvements. <br /> <br />Financial Impact: <br />None <br /> <br />Recommendation: <br />Staff recommends the Council conduct First Reading and Adoption of Ordinance 972. <br /> <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Nyle Zikmund <br />Attachment(s): <br />1. Ord. 972
