7.1 Discussion of County Subdivision Ordinance

The Committee discussed the review and updating of the county’s subdivision ordinance. Assistant States Attorney Kyle Frericks was present to help provide guidance and advice. The ordinance needs updating to account for current technology. There is also a need modify the ordinance to give the Board more flexibility in some articles and to provide better guidance in others. The Committee agreed that the subdivision officer should be present for any future meetings reviewing the ordinance. The Committee expects the review could take several months and all members were encouraged to read the ordinance in its entirety.
