§ 16-203. Revised final plat.

(1)

The original recorded plat must be used for all revisions.

a.

When it becomes necessary to revise an original recorded final plat due to some error, required adjustment or desired adjustment, the applicant must confer with the community development director to determine if the revision is a minor or major revision. The applicant's surveyor must make the necessary corrections on the original final plat or prepare a new tracing of that portion of the subdivision involved. The subdivision name, date and book and page number of the original recording must be noted on the new plat. If the original final plat is not available, then any proposed revision to the final plat must be considered a major change.

b.

Major. Changes to an approved or recorded subdivision plat that would significantly alter the layout of any public street, alley, or road shown on such plat, or area reserved thereon for public use, or if it would affect any map, plan, or plat legally recorded before adoption of any subdivision regulations, such amendment shall be approved by the same procedure, rules, and regulations required for a new subdivision.

c.

Minor. Changes to an approved or recorded subdivision plat, including but not limited to, adjusting lots and lot lines, utility easements, streets, shifting of open space and common areas, and other changes considered by the director of community development to be minor in nature and that do not create any additional lots may be approved administratively by staff as a final plat, so long as open space and amenities are not reduced or made less effective, and the overall result is not a substantially new design. The submission of official plats for signing, recording, and for the department record shall be followed as required in this chapter.

d.

If the community development director determines the change is major, the revised plat must proceed through the approval process for major or minor subdivisions described in this Code, depending on the applicability provisions.

(2)

If the original final plat is not available, the applicant must prepare a new Mylar or other durable, stable, and reproducible drafting medium approved by the department of community development, in accordance with this subsection.

(3)

Revisions and a notation explaining the revisions must be shown in black ink on the revised plat.

(4)

A blank space consisting of not less than 50 square inches must be provided on the revised plat to accommodate required certifications.

(5)

Revised plats must be prepared at a scale of not less than 50 feet to one inch.

(6)

The revised plat must comply with the regulations of the city zoning ordinance, including all conditions of zoning, which are to be shown in the upper right hand corner of the revised plat.

(7)

The revised plat must show the following wording in black ink:

"This revised plat has been submitted to the Community Development Director of the City of Dunwoody, Georgia, and has been approved as required by state law and municipal codes as meeting all conditions precedent to recording in the county superior court. This plat is hereby approved subject to any protective covenants shown hereon.

Dated this _______ day of _____,_____ _____ _____ _____

Community Development Director City of Dunwoody, Georgia"

(8)

All revisions to original plats must be bound by the protective covenants on the original final plat and a statement to that effect must be noted in black ink on the revised plat unless noted otherwise.

(9)

Other data which may be required in support of a revised final plat are: a final engineering design report on proposed revisions and such other certificates, affidavits, endorsements, or dedications as may be required by city officials in the enforcement of this chapter.
