Developers of small-lot subdivisions, and developers of subdivisions with many lots will have to prove that the additional houses built in their subdivisions will not take water from existing homes under a proposed change to the subdivision ordinance that won approval from the Planning Commission last Wednesday.

The planners did vote to modify the amendment slightly. Originally it read developments of five or more lots with all lots five acres or less, and that was changed to read five or more lots with an average density of five acres or less. The amendment also would apply to all developments of 10 or more lots of any size in residential and village residential areas.

The Board of Supervisors will consider this amendment at their January meeting, once the new board has taken office.

The amendment will require such developers to submit plans for hydrogeologic testing for review and to conduct tests of the water supply once
