the Subdivision Regulations as those requirements are tied to the dimensional
standards under section 5 of the Unified Development Ordinance. To proceed
with a request to seek relief from those standards, being minimum lot size and
setbacks, would require a hearing and approval from the Zoning Board of
Adjustment. If you would like to proceed the request would need to be made
before meeting with the Planning and Zoning Commission.
2. Please provide a revised application with the waiver requests removed. Once
resubmitted appropriate refunds will be processed for the initial waiver request.
3. Sidewalks are required for this development along all streets within the
development except for alleys and the bulb of the cul-de-sac. Please show the
sidewalk layout on the Preliminary Plan.
