Memorandum
To: Gerald Gatobu, Current Development Project Planner
From: Phil Custer, Current Development engineering review
Date: 20 January 2011
Subject: Westhall V Final (before Preliminary) Plat (SUB- 2008 - 00138)
The third revision to the final plat for Westhall V, received on 21 December 2010, has been reviewed. At
this time, engineering review for current development cannot recommend approval to this is final plat since
there are still outstanding technical and administrative issues with the construction set for this project. The
following comments must be addressed before engineering can recommend approval to the plat:
A Deed of Dedication and Easement is needed for all required drainage easements associated with
this final plat. Please refer to the County's website for the most recent forms and procedural
guidelines that need to be followed when submitting a Deed of Dedication and Easement. The
wording shown for the drainage easements on the Deed of Dedication and Easement needs to be
exactly the same as the wording on the final plat. The deed of easement (and the revision to the
final plat) should not be submitted before all ESC, SWM, and Road plans are approved.
(Rev. 1) This comment has been acknowledged by the applicant.
(Rev. 2) This comment has been acknowledged by the applicant.
(Rev. 3) This comment has been acknowledged by the applicant.
2. Drainage easements (and associated deeds of dedication and easement) to and from the pond on
TMP 56 -53 are needed.
(Rev. 1) Comment withdrawn.
A few of the drainage easements are not identified.
(Rev. 1) All easements appear to be identified. This will be confirmed once the SWM, ESC, and
road plans are approved and easement locations finalized.
(Rev. 2) All required easements have been correctly shown and dimensioned. Modifications to
these easements are not anticipated at this time.
4. All bonds must be posted before this plat can be approved.
(Rev. 2) This comment has been acknowledged by the applicant. To receive a road bond estimate,
the applicant must complete the bond request form and submit it to the county with a $250 fee.
When the road bond is posted, the applicant will need to have a Schedule of Completion approved
by the County Engineer. The ESC and SWM bonds will be calculated at the time of WPO plan
approval.
(Rev. 3) Please note that county administrative procedures have been slightly modified so that
any bond must be requested by the applicant by submitting a request form to the County
Engineer. A fee of $250 will be assessed only for a road bond calculation.
5. The applicant needs to apply for a waiver to disturb critical slopes and for the private street serving
the affordable units. It seems that a preliminary plat was previously submitted for this project but
was withdrawn in April. As a result, any waivers granted with that application are no longer valid.
(Rev. 1) The applicant has submitted a request for critical slopes and authorization of private

streets. Engineering analyses for these requests will appear in separate letters.
(Rev. 2) The Chief of Current Development has determined that the waivers approved with the
preliminary plat application which was withdrawn are still valid.
6. The drainage easement between lots 97 and 98 should be at least 20ft.
(Rev. 1) Comment not addressed. This easement must be 20ft. The request for a ]Oft easement in
this location which was addressed to the County Engineer was not granted.
(Rev. 2) Comment has been addressed.
(Rev. 2) There are offsite easements shown on this plat that also appear on the Lickinghole Creek
LLC plat (SUB- 2008 - 00166). However, since not all of the easements on TMP 56 -53 are shown
on this plat, I recommend that the applicant continue processing SUB - 2008 -00166 and record
that document before the current final plat (SUB- 2008 - 00138) is signed. This current plat should
note the previously approved easements on the adjacent property with space for referencing the
deedbook and page numbers. The plat for TMP 56 -53 must be recorded prior to county approval
of the Westhall Phase V plat.
(Rev. 3) The applicant acknowledges that plats for the adjacent properties must be recorded
prior to the approval of this application.
8. (Rev. 2) Please correct note 15 on the cover sheet to exclude the private drainage easements
shown on sheet 4 of the plat.
(Rev. 3) Comment has been addressed.
9. (Rev. 2) The lineweights and coloring of Sheet 4 makes deciphering the new easements difficult.
Please consider increasing the thickness or darkness of these new easements.
(Rev. 3) Comment has been addressed.
