Preliminary plan.
a.
When applying for a zoning change to a PUD, a preliminary plan showing the PUD requirements can be met must be submitted with the change of zone request. This preliminary plan must show lots and lot sizes, roads, road sizes and logical and reasonable access to adequately sized (minimum eighteen (18) feet wide, paved, thirty (30) feet right- of-way) Byrnes Mill maintained or Jefferson County maintained public road(s). Ingress/egress should be appropriate to minimize traffic congestion and promote safety on those public road(s).
b.
Once preliminary plan is submitted and zoning change is granted, the developer has one (1) year from the date of the zoning change to submit a Comprehensive Development Plan. One (1) six (6) month extension could be requested from Planning and Zoning to be approved or disapproved by the Board of Alderpersons. If full Comprehensive Development Plan is not submitted within the required time, zoning reverts back to prior zone designation.
