No public comment.

COMMISSION DISCUSSION

Commissioner Carter asked how big an RDP could be.

Ms. Miller said that with the amendment, a RDP could be as large as the parent parcel. It could be as small as 3 acres with a public water supply and 5 acres with a private water supply.

Ms. Betty Lichtwardt, League of Women Voters, gave the general background as to the establishment of the size of RDP’s in the subdivision regulations. Originally, they had wanted a minimum area of 20 acres per RDP, but the result of the Subdivision Regulations was that a property had to have a minimum area of 20 acres in order to be divided and the number of RDP’s which could be created was limited to 2 or 3 per parent parcel.
