CASE NO. 688-091198.TA SUBDIVISION CONTROL ORDINANCE
Director Durbin stated this is a public hearing. The request is to amend the subdivision control ordinance to
implement a deposit policy for development and to amend the time frame for recording the final plat.

One commissioner asked if bonds would be accepted in lieu of cash. Another commissioner asked how the dollars
were determined and whether there was any deposit required
