Committee presses staff to clarify when building permits require a plat

The committee focused on who must plat property before a building permit can be issued, particularly for unplatted parcels where a primary residence exists. Staff explained that "most communities do require that if you are building a brand new primary structure that you need to plat the property, regardless of the size of the property," and recommended the ordinance align with that standard for new subdivisions. Committee members worried an exception labeled "not intended for future subdivision" was unenforceable and asked staff to either remove it or narrow the timeframe.
