This ordinance will modify text in Chapter 8, Section 8.113, of the Subdivision Ordinance to
allow certain tracts of land to be designated for alternative subdivision standards as "non -
recorded" subdivisions. Please see the staff analysis for the accompanying resolution for
additional information on the need for these exemptions.

Background Information:
Currently there are a number of existing tracts of land within the city limits and within the
City's extraterritorial jurisdiction that have been subdivided into separate parcels by either a
metes and bounds description or lots that were never recorded at the Williamson County
Courthouse. It is the City's desire to provide both utility improvements and road
improvements to these subdivisions. However, in order to provide these services the
subdivisions must be platted. The proposed resolution will allow the subdivisions to be platted
"as is" without the undue hardship of complying with requirements of the Subdivision
Ordinance that would necessitate considerable redevelopment of these already developed
subdivisions. The proposed resolution specifically identifies the existing subdivisions in Exhibit
"A", attached to the Resolution that will be exempt from the requirements of Chapter 8. The
subject tracts of land are built -out subdivisions with right-of-way infrastructure already in
place. The subject tracts are not served with municipal utilities and the current rights of way
are not in compliance with existing standards. It is the City's desire to provide both utility
improvements and road improvements to these subdivisions.
