following comments related to the final plat:

Engineers Response:
2. Verify that all existing easements are indicated with recorded book and page numbers.

already an existing 15 foot PUE in the same location.
5. Indicate the recorded book and page numbers for the Parcels 17-94 and 17-95. These should also be
added to the legal description. The plat of survey names these parcels 17-93 and 17-94. This should
be updated as well.
6. 100 year flood elevations for all detention and sump areas should be indicated and illustrated.
7. The landscape buffer easement should be provided along the entire south plat boundary.
