REQUEST & DEVELOPMENT BACKGROUND
The applicant requests an exception from the Minor Subdivision ‘three year rule’. In December 2017, 1 lot was created from 2 larger tracts. Now the owner wishes to subdivide 2 more
parcels away from the larger residuals that remain. This will result in a total of 3 lots north of Oakridge River Rd, and 2 larger “exempt” 10+ acre, tracts on the south portion.
Article III, Sect 8.2.1 D of the Harnett County Unified Development Ordinance:
“This procedure may not be used a second time within three (3) years on any property less than 1,500 feet from the original property boundaries by anyone who owned, had an option on,
or held any legal interest in the original subdivision at the time the subdivision received preliminary or final plat approval or by any subsequent owner, individual having an option
on, or individual having any legal interest in the original subdivision at the time the subdivision received preliminary or final plat approval. However, the Planning Director or Designee
may at any time refer the application to the Harnett County Planning Board for consideration to allow a second minor subdivision to occur within the allotted three (3) years if deemed
necessary and appropriate. Subsequent to Planning Board approval, the application shall then be reviewed in accordance with the major subdivision review and approval process by the
Development Review Board. In no case shall utilization of this process allow for the number of new lots created, combined with the number of lots created by the initial minor subdivision
exceed the maximum number of lots permitted by the minor subdivision process. No other requirements set forth by the minor subdivision process shall be circumvented.”
