§ 16.16

A.

Prior to the filing of a tentative subdivision map, a subdivider shall submit a letter to the secretary to the planning commission indicating an intention to subdivide. Such letter of intention is required to alert city officials and interested public and private agencies of such intention so that they may have the opportunity to inform the subdivider of physical conditions, facts, policies and environmental concerns which are or may be pertinent to the preparation of the tentative map.

B.

The subdivider shall submit twenty (20) copies of a letter of intention to subdivide to the secretary. The secretary shall transmit one copy to each member of the planning commission and city council, and to the planning director, city engineer, public works director, building official, fire chief, police chief, general manager of the S-K-F sanitation district and the superintendents of the Kingsburg Elementary and High School Districts.

C.

The letter of intent shall be accompanied by a preliminary map, sketch or concept plan, drawn to an appropriate scale, as an aid to the review and discussion of the applicant's proposals. The number of copies and method of distribution shall be as described for the letter of intent under subsection B. of this section.

(Ord. 94-05 § 1 (part), 1994)

A letter of intent to subdivide shall contain at least the following information:

A.

Location of the proposed subdivision with reference to the names of any streets which bound or traverse the property, the assessor's parcel number for the affected property and a preliminary title report on the property.

B.

Name, address and telephone number of the record owner and of the subdivider.

C.

The area of the property in acres, existing general plan and zoning district designations, and the range of lot sizes and uses contemplated.

D.

Means of vehicular access.

E.

Proposed methods or means of utility service.

(Ord. 94-05 § 1 (part), 1994)

The subdivider is encouraged to request a subdivision conference with the planning commission as an agenda item at the earliest possible regular meeting of the commission, with attendance invited by representatives of all agencies and persons having received a letter of intent to subdivide. Such request is especially important to the interests of the city where a planned unit development (PUD) is being proposed, where a general plan and/or zoning district reclassification is required, or where annexation will be necessary. Parties which cannot attend the conference are to be invited to submit letters in response to the letter of intent as they may deem appropriate. The discussion and recommendations provided to the subdivider at the conference are to be considered as advisory preparatory to the filing of a tentative subdivision map under the provisions of this code.
