I have the following comments <br />lettered in the same manner as the ordinance: <br />1008.08,.1, 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 />1008.10, 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, Z, 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, 2nd 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 />offices in EIk River Sr Burnsville <br />
