§ 7-21.2. Short form subdivision.

(1)

Intent and purpose. It is the county's intent to provide a short form subdivision process, consistent with F.S. ch. 163, and the platting of large lot subdivisions. A large lot subdivision is the division of a large parcel of land into lots each of which contain a minimum of ten acres and where county expenditure for infrastructure to support the development is not required and for those lots approved under the family homestead provisions of this chapter.

(2)

Form. The short form subdivision submittals shall be on Mylar with three paper copies, in addition to at least one digital copy, for review and processing by the planning department. The Mylar shall be drawn at the scale acceptable to the planning department with one inch to 400 feet established as a suggested minimum scale. Where necessary, the plat may be drawn on more than one Mylar accompanied by the appropriate legend and index sheet.

(3)
