Last fall the Plan Commission unanimously recommended favorable approval and the Carmd City

requirements for lots in Qualifying Subdivisions (ROSa). It has come to the Department's attention that
there is a COlTcsponding section in the Subdivision Control Ordinance which should also have been
deleted; it reads as follows:
7.00.01 Major Subdivisions with community water ami community sewer that meets tht: Standard
Open Space Requirement (SOSR) set forth in Sectiun 7.01 shall be exempt from the area,
yard, width, and coverage standards set forth in Sections 5.04.02, 5.04.03, 6.04.02,
6.04.03. 7.04.02, 7.0403, 8.04.02, 8.04.03, 9.04.02, 9.04.03, 10.05.02, and 10.05.03 of
the Zoning Ordinance, however, the minimum distance between dwellings shall be six (6)

The Department of Community Services recommends the Commission vote to suspend its rules of
procedure and then vote for a favorable recommendation of this item to City Council, after all
conIDlents and concerns are addressed.
