REGULAR AGENDA
5.Subdivision Ordinance Amendment
Conduct a Public Hearing and Consider, Discuss and Act on Ordinance # 103019 Regarding an
Amendment of Section 4 "Procedure", Exhibit A "Subdivision Ordinance", Chapter 10 "Subdivision
Regulation", of the City of Sanger Code of Ordinances.
Mayor Muir read the item caption and opened the public hearing at 7:19 p.m. Director of
Development Services Ramie Hammonds provided a summary. This amendment is a result of
House Bill 3167 effective September 1, 2019. It adds additional requirements in the subdivision
procedure to make the application packet more comprehensive and thorough. Staff has included the
checklists for developers as discussed in earlier meetings. The checklists were the basis for this
ordinance change; however, as staff began revising the ordinance they recognized other items that
needed to be corrected. In platting regulations it stated that anything under 40 acres needs to be
platted. Staff is recommending to change this requirement to under 10 acres which is more
consistent with what the County and the local government code says. She noted that because we
are going electronic, we have changed the amount of paper copies required from six to one and/or
any additional copies that may be requested. Everything is now required to be submitted in
electronic format. There were a couple of items added into the requirements on plats such as the
location of fire hydrants and fire lanes which were not previously required. There were some
standard note changes for the wording on the plats. Also required is a signed and notarized copy of
any private restrictions is to be submitted up front to make sure that the plat is not in conflict. She
summarized the State Law statements required on the plat and that staff also added in the
requirement for the Planning and Zoning Commission signature block, which we have been doing,
but it was not part of the ordinance. She noted there were some minor clarification of items, and
that Exhibit A has been moved to Section 10.100.
Mayor Muir noted that this is a public hearing and solicited any citizens who wished to speak on this
item. There being no citizens approaching the podium who wished to speak the public hearing was
closed at 7:25 p.m.
A motion was made by Mayor Pro Tem Bilyeu to approve Ordinance # 103019 regarding an
amendment of Section 4 "Procedure", Exhibit A "Subdivision Ordinance", Chapter 10 "Subdivision
Regulation", of the City of Sanger Code of Ordinances. The motion was seconded by
Councilmember Dillon. The motion carried unanimously with a 40 vote (Councilmember Chick
absent).
