Commissioners Adopt Amendments

The Knox County Board of Commissioners passed three motions yesterday adopting amendments to the Knox County Subdivision Regulations. The amendments will become effective on Aug. 12.

The first amendment clarifies the definition of subdivision, as to what can be reviewed in a minor subdivision, and requires a preliminary plat for all major subdivisions.

The second amendment enacts rules governing the subdivision of land between 5.001 acres and 20 acres. Adoption of this amendment formalizes procedures which have already been in effect informally in the county.

The third amendment defines the term “original tract.” The amendment allows the setting of a point in time when all tracts in Knox County would become “original tracts.” That point in time will be Aug. 12, 2006, the effective date of the amendment. After that date, a maximum of four subdivisions (5 lots) under Ohio Revised Code 711.131 would apply to that parcel without regard to ownership.
