Me! aughlin Jr. Mabel Riley Proposed subdivision ordinance studied by planning board By .Sally Jamir Members of the Hoke County Planning Board discuNsed a sub division ordinance at their regular meeting last Tuesday night, according to Brown Hendricks Jr., board chairman. A draft of the ordinance, entitl ed "Subdivision Regulations,”, is being studied by the board for pos.sible approval. The ordinance has been adopted under the provision and authority of the General Statutes of North Carolina The purp--*-** of the ordinaiw* is to establish guidelines for the sub division ard development of land in Hoke County. According to the regulations, it is designed to "provide for the orderly growth and development of the county.” In addition i; woulfl provide foe; •The coordination of highways and streets with other public facilities. •The reservation or dedication of recreation areas for residents in subdivision neighborhcH)ds and nearby areas for utility and street purposes. •The distribution of traffic and population so that overcrowding and congestion will be avoided and the creation of conditions neces.sary for public safety, health and general welfare. The ordinance is designed to help facilitate adequate sewerage, water provisions, schools, parks and playgrounds. The ordinance states that it would have the capacity to aid in the “further rc.subdivision of larger tracts of land into smaller parcels of land." The ordinance, if passed, would essentially “protect peoples’ in vestment in the land and home," according the Jim Dougherty, chief planner, N.C. Department of Natural Resources and Communi ty Development. The ordinance will help in th-n svhen residents “buy a lot, th«, will be guaranteed that it will keep its value or increase its value,'" Dougherty said in a telephone in terview Friday. According to Dougherty, the or dinance would “provide for healthful living places with attrac tive, acceptable standards for streets, and utilities, water and sewer ” "It would be a positive channel for the people to have a say in the healthy growth of the county.” Doughert} said. The ordinance varies very little from those existing in over 50^# ot the courses in NiOirth Carolina. Cumberland and Scotland coun ties both have subdivision or dinances. Moore County has a par tial ordinance Robeson County docs nof have an ordinance, according to Dougherty. Regarding the sale of land, Dcughiery expleined that the or dmance would not affect land already divided into iracu before the ordinance wav in effect However, it would affect the sale of land if more lots were created out of exisirng tracts of land. If more lots are created, the landowner tsubdivider) would follow procedures for the review and approval of subdivision plats, or the map or plan of a parcel of Jand which is to be, or has been divided. If the ordinance n passed, accor ding to Dougherty, when the sub- divider decides to divide his land for sale, he would prepare a sketch plan and present it with the ap propnate information to the ad minjsiratiic otTicer (to be ip- ^F*isted by the counjyi who would agree or disagree with the concept of the plan If necessary, the officer would suggest ways to comply with the ordinance, and the subdividez would use this input to prepare a prelmnnary pJai for submission to the administrative officer The officer would in turn review the prc’immarv pfat and refer it to the plat ning board. If it is com plete, the board would approve the plai and give it back to the sub- divider.
