2. [14-302(A)] Name of Subdivision. The plat shall be modified to provide a single signature line for the

80, or revise it to be SUB2019-144. Rev 1. Comment addressed.

missing a leg of the easement. Revise. Rev 1. Comment addressed.

associated with Lot 3 and Lot 17 are missing labels L1, L2, L3... etc. Revise. Rev 2. Comment

5. [14-303(L)] Public Drainage. At the entrance of Ragged Ridge Lane and the corner of Lot 10 there is
an existing drainage easement associated with Detail J from the original subdivision plat. Is this
easement existing and does it need to be vacated to allow for the proposed easement? If so, revise the
plat appropriately. Rev 1. Comment addressed.

of this document to me and I will forward it to the County Attorney for his review/approval. Ensure that
only one deed of dedication and one deed of easement shall be reviewed and approved for the plat.

[14-317] Instrument evidencing maintenance of certain improvements. Legal documents relevant to the
maintenance of the new permanent drainage easements (private improvements) must be provided for

for the Blue Springs Farm homeowner's association does not cover new drainage easements, the legal
document may need to be updated and reviewed/approved by the County Attorney's Office. Please
submit a legal document to the above affect and I will forward it to the County Attorney for his review/
approval. Rev 1. Comment still relevant.
