241 Concord had been adjusted or revised to make them as similar as possible with the basic differences being that the City installs its own utilities and has higher standards for roads. Highlights of the proposed Regulations were as follows: o Elimination of access easements for single splits by requiring the use of flag lots or dedicated rights-of-way. Minor subdivisions - any division of five lots or less shall be required to submit a plat as well as a recorded deed (conveyance plats). Deadlines were increased to allow more review time. Increased copies for review (preliminary). Added "Certificate of Maintenance" which will require the developer to set up a maintenance agreement to maintain roads until city/state takes over maintenance. Community water and sewerage systems shall meet Cabarrus County Specifications. Required utility easements along or adjacent to rights-of- way of at least ten (10) feet. In addition the developer may place easements on side or rear property lines at a width of no less than fifteen (15) feet. Curbs, gutters, and sidewalks will be required for all lots of 20,000 square feet or less whether they are in the Ten year Growth Area or not.
