approve plats. Warren said the current 14 -day -review period was changed to 31 days for both
minor and major plats.

reviews within 14 days.

submitted. He said other staff members were being trained to review the plats.
No one else desired to speak, and Chairman Tice adjourned the hearing.

ordinance and to make a finding that approval was consistent with the adopted Iredell County
Land Use Plan and that said approval was reasonable and in the public interest due to its

Section 305. Procedure for Review of Minor Subdivisions
305.3 Approval of Final Plat by the Subdivision Administrator and Recording
Once the Subdivision Administrator has received the required number of copies of the final plat, he shall
have thirty-one (31) days to review the plat and to grant approval, approval with conditions or
disapproval. If more than thirty-one (31) days is required for approval, the Subdivision Administrator
must notify the Subdivider in writing advising him of the delay, the nature of the delay and an approximate
date as to when a decision can be forwarded.

confirm the accuracy of the final plat. If substantial errors are found, the costs shall be charged to the
Subdivider and the plat shall not be recommended for approval until such errors have been corrected.
If the Subdivision Administrator does not approve the final plat, he shall instruct the Subdivider
concerning resubmission of a revised plat and the Subdivider may make such changes as will bring the plat
into compliance with the provisions of this Ordinance and resubmit same for reconsideration by the
Subdivision Administrator, or appeal the decision first to the Planning Board and second to the Board of
Commissioners if the Subdivider is not satisfied with the decision of the Planning Board.
Failure of the Subdivision Administrator to approve, approve with conditions, or disapprove the plat or
notify the Subdivider of a delay in reviewing the plat within thirty-one (31) days of plat submittal shall
constitute grounds for the Subdivider to apply to the Planning Board for plat approval.
If the Subdivision Administrator approves the final plat or if the plat is approved on appeal to the Planning
Board or to the Board of Commissioners, such approval shall be shown on each copy of the plat by the
following signed certificate:
