Summary
Planning staff presented a draft update to Glynn County's subdivision regulations on March 2, proposing to restore a 3-acre exemption threshold, require multiple access points for new subdivisions, add water/wastewater easement standards, and raise developer bonds to 150% of probable cost; staff also proposed an administrative path for bond reductions and CO issuance.
