TUESDAY, NOV~4BER 29, 1988 <br /> <br />the lot or area to be subdivided. Additional revisions to the Subdivision <br />Ordinance proposed by the Planning Commission involve clarification of existing <br />terms and phrases." With this report the Commission attached a summary- <br />comparison of proposed Subdivision Ordinance changes recommended by the <br />Commission with current regulations and with the changes recommended by the <br />City Administration. City Manager Brown also, presented, with a transmittal <br />memorandum report, the City Administration's draft of a new administrative <br />section of a proposed/revised Subdivision Ordinance which (he stated) is <br />designed to expedite the processing of subdivision requests as well as <br /> <br /> " ..... would go far in eliminating Developers' concerns and will, in our <br /> <br />opinion, serve to provide the growth and development of the City", a goal he <br />does not foresee attaining under the Planning Commission's proposal. As to the <br />Commission's suggestion that within certain parameters the City Administration <br />be vested with the authority of approving proposed subdivisions but, beyond <br />those parameters, the Commission retain sole authority, City Attorney Worthy <br />ruled that State statutes do not permit such sharing of authority and <br />responsibility and that authority in such matters must rest solely either with <br />the Planning Commission or with the City Administration. Meanwhile, City <br />Manager Brown reported, further, that the City Administration prefers leaving <br /> <br />" ..... the Administrative provisions of the current Ordinance intact, rather <br /> <br />than adopt the Administrative Provisions ........ recommended by the Planning <br /> <br />Commission because of the difficulty that will be encountered in separating the <br />Commission Agent's responsibilities from the responsibility of the Planning <br /> <br />Commission ..... " Upon motion, duly seconded and unanimously carried, Council <br /> <br />called for a duly-advertised public hearing to be conducted by Council on the <br />proposed revisions at Council's forthcoming regular meeting scheduled for <br />Tuesday, December 13, 1988. <br /> <br /> <br />
