4 SUBMISSION OF APPLICATION Once an application has been received the file planner will review to ensure the proposed subdivision complies with City policies and regulations. After the initial review by the planner, an applicant may be asked to revise the application or submit additional information for any issues identified. Identifying key issues early in the process will avoid the need for recirculation and help ensure a quick and comprehensive review. The subdivision of land has an impact on existing infrastructure and in some cases may require new infrastructure to be built. The impact on infrastructure requires technical review by civic and non-civic agencies responsible for this infrastructure or impact on the development. Technical reviewing areas include EPCOR Water Services, EPCOR Distribution & Transmission Inc., Drainage, Transportation and City Planning Branch, etc. Applications within established and developing neighbourhoods follow the same process but review different information. Established neighbourhoods have infrastructure in place that needs to be considered. Applications within developing or new areas require a more extensive review and further information because the infrastructure does not exist yet, reserves have not been addressed, etc. ESTABLISHED NEIGHBOURHOOD APPLICATIONS Requirements for an application to subdivide 1 lot into 2 lots, in an established neighbourhood, include: CERTIFICATE OF TITLE A copy of the title within the last 30 days TENTATIVE PLAN A drawing of the proposal including: dimensions of the proposed lots in metres labels for the street, lane, adjacent lots, and north arrow existing buildings and intention to demolish SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS The requirement for technical documentation will be assessed at the time of the initial review of the application 4

5 ALL OTHER APPLICATIONS Requirements considered during the review for all other types of subdivision include the following: 1 2 CERTIFICATE OF TITLE A current copy of each title within the subdivision boundary dated within the last 30 days of the application.
