AGENDA ITEM NO.8: Public hearing to consider an amendment to the Subdivision Regulations pertaining
to platting requirements. (93-815)~
City Planner Kee presented the ordinance amendment that deals with the Subdivision Regulations and simply
explicitly states the instances when platting is required. The amendment clarifies when someone has to plat,
defines a plat and adds section 4.A which states that someone must submit a plat to subdivide property.
Chairperson Hawthorne opened the public hearing.
Developer Dan Bensimon of Myrad Real Estate approached the Commission and requested to address the yard
fence issue. He suggested the following as an alternative to the ordinance amendment to require a permit for all
fences: (1) require all developers to place a note on the final plat that prohibits fences in drainage easements or
show where the fences can be located; or, (2) require the developer to place a note in the deed restrictions
concerning the placement of fences. Most developers place fence requirements in the deed restrictions; if a
permit is required for all fences, the City may allow a type of fence or location that is not allowed under the deed
restrictions. Mr. Bensimon stated that he would prefer to show the fence building line on the plat and the filed
deed restrictions. This proposal would save paperwork and remove the responsibility from the City.
Chairperson Hawthorne closed the public hearing.
Commissioner Herring moved to recommend approval of the ordinance amendment to the Subdivision
Regulations pertaining to platting requirements. Commissioner Gribou seconded the motion which passed
unopposed (7 - 0).
