§ 14-146. Procedure.

(a)

The original recorded plat shall be used for all revisions.

(b)

When it becomes necessary to revise an original recorded final plat due to some error, required adjustment or desired adjustment, the applicant shall confer with the planning director to determine if the revision is a minor or major revision. The applicant's surveyor shall make the necessary corrections on the original final plat or prepare a new tracing of that portion of the subdivision involved. The subdivision name, date and book and page number of the original recording shall be noted on the new plat. If the original final plat is not available, then any proposed revision to the final plat shall be considered a major change.

(c)

A minor change is one that corrects a drafting or scrivener's error or is otherwise administrative in nature and does not affect how the subdivision will be developed or built. A major change is any other change, including changes that alter how the subdivision will be developed or built, such as, but not limited to, changing or moving lot lines, increasing or decreasing the number of lots, changing the location of any public facilities or utilities, and revising protective covenants applying to the property.

(d)

If the planning director determines the change is minor, then the planning director will obtain the chief executive officer's acknowledgement, approval, and acceptance of the revised final plat, and shall file such revised plat with the clerk of superior court.

(e)

If the planning director determines the change is major, the revised plat must proceed through the approval process for final plats described in this Code.

(f)

The basis for the planning director's characterization of the change as either major or minor shall be recorded in black ink on the revised plat.
