Reviewing Minor Revisions
What Qualifies as a Minor Revision?
- Small impervious (i.e., prevents water from infiltrating into the soil) areas that do not alter grade from the originally approved grading plan, to include;
- Covered and uncovered decks, sunrooms, small bump outs, window wells, chimneys and landing areas
- Minor corrections required by building and/or zoning permit reviews to match Architectural plans (Examples include: stairs, front porch, and landing adjustments)
- Small changes to approved landscape plan
- If the building height changed due to the roof line ONLY
- Small changes to the approved Limits of Disturbance (LOD)
- Changes to public water or sanitary connections
- Violations for work outside the approved LOD
- Does not include unpermitted work within the Right of Way (ROW) OR impacts/changes to the tree conservation plan
- Adding a geothermal well
- Changes in ownership
- If the owner has changed from the previously approved plan, the conservation escrow and/or bond, must be updated and will be listed as an approval condition.
- Updates to addresses where no other changes are occurring. The revision will be reviewed by the Bonds & Addressing Center and will only be assessed the minor revision fee.
It is NOT a Minor Revision if the revised scope includes any of the following:
- Changes to grade
- Including the removal/elimination of previously approved accessory structures such as pools and sports courts.
- Decks with changes to grade will NOT be considered a minor revision.
- Changes to approved tree preservation plan or landscaping plan
- House layout changes or shifts in house location
- Building height changes due to grade changes
- Changes or proposed impacts to previously approved stormwater management or BMP facilities
- Changes to previously approved water quality options (e.g., nutrient credits or BMPs)
- Additional impervious area which increases the total imperviousness proposed on the lot to more than 18%
- Changes to private water or sewer systems

Process
Minor Revisions are processed in PLUS. Please submit your minor revision by selecting 'Make Changes' under your originally approved SITE record by following the steps outlined in the below tutorial video:
The review fee for a Minor Revision is $174.90 and must be paid at the time of submittal.
Depending on plan type, the submission may be reviewed by the Site Services team. Review includes topography, footprint, building restriction lines, building height calculations (when applicable) and verification that all improvements are within the previously approved limits of clearing, unless allowed to encroach into the minimum yard and lot regulations.
Revisions incorrectly submitted as MINOR that do not meet the above listed criteria will require fee adjustments. Outstanding balances must be paid PRIOR to Review Distribution (i.e., routing to review).
Please allow up to five business days for review.
