1. [Chapter 18] A special use permit for fill in the floodplain is required for Road `13'.

They will need to be approved before the approval of the preliminary subdivision.
Rev2: Same as above. Special use permit applications are currently being processed.

plan. Please change the title and all reference and notes to read `Preliminary Subdivision
Plat'.
Revl: Comment addressed.

property.

need to be a part of the subdivision and sign the plat. The road is going through the
adjacent property, and therefore the owner(s) need to sign. The adjacent owner(s)
will also need to be a part of the Special Use permit application for Stream Crossing
