Commission recommends adoption of updated Sherburne County subdivision ordinance
Summary
The Planning Commission recommended rescinding the 1994 subdivision ordinance and adopting a streamlined Subdivision Ordinance No. 297, which clarifies surveyor requirements, allows some administrative subdivisions, and builds closer coordination with the county surveyor and recorder.
The Sherburne County Planning Commission voted to recommend that the County Board rescind the county’s Subdivision Ordinance No. 003 (adopted Dec. 21, 1994) and adopt a revised Subdivision Ordinance No. 297.
Staff (identified in the transcript as Brent) described the draft as a cleanup and streamlining effort developed with the county attorney’s office, the county surveyor, public works and the recorder’s office. The update would allow some administrative subdivisions in areas where they were previously not permitted and clarifies the information county surveyors will require after plat approval. Staff said the county previously implemented a streamlined standard-plat process that allowed bypassing the planning commission under certain circumstances; that change had worked well, saving time for at least one developer.
The commission opened the public hearing, heard no public comment, then moved, seconded and passed a motion recommending rescinding the old ordinance and adopting the new Subdivision Ordinance No. 297. Staff committed to providing the full packet and township comments to the County Board ahead of its July 14 meeting.
