I have the following comments <br />lettered in the same manner as the ordinance: <br />• <br />1008.08, I, C, vii: I believe that if something is "recorded" with <br />the County it could not then leave the Court House. I think you <br />should reword this to say: "The subdivider shall furnish the City <br />one (1) mylar copy of the final plat complete with all the <br />recording data as determined by the County Recorder's or County <br />Registrar of Titles offices. This shall include time and date of <br />recording and Instrument. or Document number". <br />2008.10, 1, D (Graphic Scale):- Shouldn't this say "allowed" rather <br />than "requested"? <br />1008.10, 2, A: I think the reference to "tied into the nearest <br />section of quarter section corner by traverse." is unnecessary. Why <br />not just say: "Boundary Survey"? The legal description will <br />dictate whether on not a "tie" is necessary and the Land Surveyor <br />is the one who is the best judge of that. For instance: "Elk Park <br />Center 3rd" is a replat of the "1st .Add." and the "1st" contains <br />said "ties". <br />1008.10, 2, F: "U.S.G.S.-data (etc)" is redundant. If the plat is <br />on "City Datum" then it is already on "sea-level", which is what I <br />think you're- trying to say here. <br />1008.10, 2, H, tad sentence: "Extend" should read: "extent". <br />1008.12, 1, B: The reference to the County Surveyor preparing the <br />plat is no longer necessary since the County Surveyor's position is <br />now .full time and he is thus prevented from also being in private <br />practice within the County. <br />1008..12, 1, D: Please strike "or easements" as I read that to mean <br />that-the holder of any existing easement within an .area to be <br />platted must also .sign the record plat. That is contrary to <br />practice, and perhaps law, and would be an unnecessary burden. <br />f~j 0O1 <br />C$ffiees in EIk River 5~ BurnsvilIe <br />
