RESOLUTION NO. 51-90
WHEREAS, the subdivision of parcels five (5) acres (1/128 of a section)
in size or larger are exempt from the platting requirements and standards
of Jefferson County Ordinance 1-75 (Subsection 3.40.8 and 3.40.9), the
Subdivision Ordinance; and
WHEREAS, Jefferson County is experiencing an accelerated rate of
population growth such that an emergency exists; and
'WHEREAS, said emergency entails uncontrolled growth resulting in
large acreages of property being subdivided into parcels of five (5) acres
(1/128 of a section) or larger for the purpose of development; and
WHEREAS, the creation of said parcels is wasteful of the land
resource, may result in the transfer of the private costs for improvements
onto the public sector, is exempt from the environmental review process,
and adds to the sprawl of development inconsistent with the policy
direction stipulated in the Jefferson County Comprehensive Plan; and
WHEREAS, Jefferson County has begun a process to address this growth
through revision of Ordinance 1-75 to address the lack of standards
concerning said large acreage parcels and to provide incentives to develop
at greater densities; and
WHEREAS, the Jefferson County Subdivision Roundtable was constituted
to address these issues and has made recommendations to update Ordinance
1-75; and

WHEREAS, said Ordinance revision will take time to be drafted,
reviewed, and be approved; and
WHEREAS, in the intervening period additional acreages may be
subdivided into five (5) acre tracts or larger compounding the problems
created by this exemption; and
WHEREAS, following public hearing by the Board of County
Commissioners it appears to be in the best interest of the citizens of
Jefferson County to benefit from interim provisions and a revised ordinance
before additional parcels are created via these exemptions.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that interim provisions to govern the
creation of acreage parcels prior to ordinance revisions are hereby
declared on the use of Subsections 3.40.8 and 3,40.9 of the Jefferson County
Subdivision Ordinance, and no parcel shall be created utilizing these
exemption provisions except as provided for in the interim provisiol1$; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that Jefferson County Planning Commission is
hereby directed to review these interim provisions and proposed amendments
to the Jefferson County Subdivision Ordinance and make recommendation to
the Board of County Commissioners with 180 days from the adoption date of
this resolution; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, in order to equitably administer the
transition to the interim provisions and proposed amendments to Ordinance
1-75, the following policy will be utilized when determining the
applicability of the interim provisions.
The interim provisions will not apply when the following conditions
exist:
1. A survey of record was filed with the County Auditor prior to
April 2, 1990; AND
2a. At least one (1) parcel within said survey was sold and
segregated prior to April 2, 1990; .QB
b. The Jefferson County Board of Commissioners have formally
waived the application of the interim provisions after finding
that substantial progress towards development of a large lot
subdivisions has been undertaken and the application of the
interim provisions would not be in the best interest of the
citizens of Jefferson County.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that pending Planning Commission
recommendation, the proposed amendments shall be considered as interim
provisions and shall be effective as such from the date of passage of this
resolution.
