The Board now has the right to put <br /> conditions upon the approval of variances. <br /> The remaining sections of the proposed ordinance will amend Article 14 of the zoning <br /> ordinance which is commonly known as the subdivision control ordinance. The new State <br /> Statutes changes the time frame for appealing subdivisions from 10 days to five days. <br /> The new Statutes also allows the Plan Commission the right to grant waivers from some <br /> of the requirements of the ordinance. The Commission previously granted variances. <br /> Please place this item on the Council's Jul y2,.72011 agenda for First Reading. The Area <br /> Plan Commission will schedule this ordinance for public hearing on July 19,2011. <br /> If you have any questions, please feet free to contact me. <br /> Filed In Cfork's Office <br /> Sincerely, <br /> W.
