III. Old Business
A. Subdivision Ordinance: Planning Director, Dave Cunningham, noted
that there is a repetition in an administration requirement under the
Short Subdivision Section 5 where as it now stands, a "Final Short
Plat" is filed for record as well as the survey being filed. Mr.
Cunningham suggested that since the survey is filed, then the final.
short plat format be waived, and replaced.by an affidavit.
Also discussed was the addition of an exemption from the subdivision
requirements for divisions of land resulting over boundary dispute.
Karl Randolph noted that a "Loophole" exists in the present exemption
for divisions of land made by gift to members of an immediate family.
The "loophole" is that the division of land is first exempted by gift,
however, the immediate family may then resubdivide the land.
