§ 5.7.3. Review criteria.

To approve a proposed amended plat, the county commissioners must consider the following review criteria and find that each criterion has been met or determined to be inapplicable:

A.

No additional lots will be created by the amended plat.

B.

Except for lot consolidations, the resultant lots will meet the required minimum lot size of the applicable zoning district and the lot dimension ratio required by subsection 8.14.1.H. If any of the lots are nonconforming with respect to the minimum lot size or the lot dimension ratio, the amended plat must not increase the nonconformity.

C.

The amended plat will not create a nonconforming setback for any existing building;

D.

The resultant lots will meet the requirements of subsection 8.14.1.I.

E.

The amended plat will not adversely affect access, drainage or utility easements or rights-of-way serving the property or other properties in the area; and

F.

Any covenants, deed restrictions or other conditions of approval that apply to the original lots must also apply to the resultant lots and be noted on the final plat, except those changes to a condition or note on a plat that are approved with this application. The county commissioners shall consider the original reason or circumstance for a condition or note on a plat when approving a change.
