12/07/2021: INFORMATION:
All plans should be saved as optimized/flattened PDFs to reduce file size and
remove layers.
Per the Electronic Submittal Requirements AutoCAD SHX attributes need to be
removed from the PDF’s.
AutoCAD turns drawing text into comments that appear in the PDF plan set,
and these must be removed prior to submittal as they can cause issues with the
PDF file. The default setting is "1" ("on") in AutoCAD. To change the setting
and remove this feature, type "EPDFSHX" in the command line and enter "0".
Read this article at Autodesk.com for more tips on this topic:

01/17/2022: INFORMATION - UPDATED:
The update to provide the full frontage along the western property boundary is appreciated.
12/06/2021: FOR HEARING:
On the civil set, the property does not provide the full 5-foot-wide sidewalk along
the property frontage. The applicant would need to demonstrate the 5-foot walk
width along the entire frontage, or would otherwise need to provide
payment in lieu of sidewalk for areas along the frontage where this does not
occur. It appears this may be difficult to implement full to the east with the
existing driveway for the property to the east, but seems to be able to be
implemented to the westerly property line.
Response: As noted in the city comment dated 01/17/2022, the sidewalk is updated to 5’ along the
western property boundary. Payment in lieu is expected by the applicant for any sidewalk not built to 5’
width.
