BOARD RESOLUTION NO. R-545; AMENDMENT TO AO NO. 82-01 S. 1992 TO INCLUDE DEFINITION FOR PARTIAL DEVELOPMENT/PARTIAL COMPLETION
"WHEREAS, Resolution No. 389, Series of 1987 amending AO 82-01 Series of 1982 allows a liberal interpretation of the Rules and Regulations of the Board on Donation of Roads, Parks, Playgrounds, Open Space, Street Lightings and Other Facilities or Services of Subdivision Projects;
"WHEREAS, the same resolution failed to define the meaning of Partial Development or Partial Completion and this has caused the failure of Local Government Units (LGUs), Private Developers and HLRB Regional Officers to resolve issues related to the same in view of the absence of a clear definition;
"NOW, THEREFORE, be it RESOLVED as it is hereby RESOLVED to have a uniform basis for actions and decisions by the Board related to Partial Development of Partial Completion, that Sec. 5 Rule II, "Definition of Terms", of HSRC AO 82-01 Series of 1982 be amended to include the following definition:

Provided further that in all cases the operation and use of a partially completed or partially developed facility is not impaired, hindered, or made unsafe by the uncompleted portions of that facility. Roads however, shall connect to a public road or right-of-way and drainage to the appropriate existing drainage system as indicated in the approved plans.
"A particular subdivision facility may be issued a certificate of partial development/partial completion and be donated in accordance with Sec. 31 of PD 957 (Donation of Roads and Open Spaces to Local Governments) as amended by PD 1216.
