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 July 2S-2011 agenda for First Reading.
