The Council voted to adopt the changes <br /> proposed in Mr. Yuen's Draft 5 of Bill 246 at its June 5, 2006 meeting. <br /> <br /> Bill 246, Draft 5 incorporates the changes proposed in Draft 3 and Draft 4, by deleting <br /> the Planning Department's proposed amendments to section 23-50 of the Subdivision Code <br /> relating to "grades and curves" in its entirety. As a result, section 23-50 of the Subdivision Code <br /> relating to "grades and curves" will remain unchanged. Draft 3 and Draft 4 were filed by the <br /> Council at its June 5, 2006 meeting. <br /> Amendment of section 23-50 is not relevant to other amendments proposed by the <br /> Planning Director in Bill No. 246, which amendments are intended to correct discrepancies <br /> between current provisions in the Subdivision Code and current practice in the processing of <br /> subdivision applications by the Planning Department. Draft 5 deletes amendments to section 23- <br /> 50 of the Subdivision Code, since the proposed amendments to grades and curves did not directly <br /> address issues raised by the Leslie vs. Board of Appeals court decision. <br /> <br /> Draft 5 also addresses substantial concerns expressed by the public about Bill 246, which <br /> contended that the public is not being adequately informed about pending or approved <br /> subdivisions in the County. Bill 246, Draft 5 requires that the Planning Department publish a <br /> semi-monthly list of the subdivision applications it receives.
