Per the current language a PTO is required prior to recording a final plat; however, certain water and sewer providers will not issue a PTO without TMS#s and addresses, which cannot be assigned until after a final plat is recorded. This amendment addresses that issue. Amendments to Chapter 13, Section 13.6.1 – Pre-application Conference Reason for request: The requested amendment is proposed by staff to clarify that subdivisions require a pre-application conference even if new streets are not created to ensure that all planning/zoning, access, stormwater, and utility issues are addressed. As the ordinance already states, this can be waived if it is not needed.  AN ORDINANCE TO AMEND THE SUMMERVILLE UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT ORDINANCE, CHAPTER 5, SECTION 5.11.2 REQUIRED IMPROVEMENTS FOR FINAL PLAT APPROVAL, SUBSECTION (A) OF THE TOWN OF SUMMERVILLE CODE OF ORDINANCES BE IT ORDAINED by the Mayor and Council members of the Town of Summerville, in Council assembled, that the Summerville Unified Development Ordinance, Section 5.11.2 Required Improvements for Final Plat Approval, subsection (A) is amended to read as follows: 5.11.2 REQUIRED IMPROVEMENTS FOR FINAL PLAT APPROVAL A.
