Regarding:
Project Name: SUB20180082—Michael W. Perkins, Sr. & Connie - Family Division
Date Submitted: 7-2-18
Dear Mr. Blau:
The applicant has submitted a Declaration of the Private Street Maintenance Agreement, a
Declaration of Family Division, a Deed of Gift and the plat for the above named project. I have also
included an email from the applicant's lawyer (see below) and the maintenance checklist.
Please note the following specific questions about what was submitted:
• They have used "easement" in place of "private street". From a legal stand point is this allowable?
I would think at least when they are referring to the maintenance it would be maintenance of the
"private street" versus of the "easement".
• Although much of the wording is from the templates they have changed some things. Do you have
any issues with the modifications they have made?
• The Lawyer provided a list of items that specifies the order in which they need to be recorded (see
the attached emails). Is this order correct or do we not weigh in on the order at all? Since the
email was addressed to me I felt the need to ask.
At your earliest convenience, please review these documents and the attached plat for the division. Should
you have any questions or comments please feel free to contact me.
Sincerely, � -
