You will need to provide references to specific project plans, pages, reports, or explanations of why comments have not been addressed [when applicable]. Comment Number: 3 11/22/2022: SUBMITTAL: Please follow the Electronic Submittal Requirements and File Naming Standards found at https://www.fcgov.com/developmentreview/files/electronic submittal requirements and file naming standards_v1_8 1 19.pdf?1566857888. File names should begin with the file type, followed by the project information, and round number. Example: UTILITY PLANS_PROJECT NAME_PDP_Rd2.pdf File type acronyms maybe appropriate to avoid extremely long file names. Example: TIS for Traffic Impact Study, ECS for Ecological Characterization Study. Reach out to me if you would like a list of suggested names. *Please disregard any references to paper copies, flash drives, or CDs. Comment Number: 4 11/22/2022: SUBMITTAL: 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" (version 2016.1) or “PDFSHX (version 2017 and newer) in the command line and enter "0".

Department: Engineering Development Review Contact: John Gerwel, , jgerwel@fcgov.com Topic: General Comment Number: 1 01/05/2023: FOR FINAL APPROVAL ‑ UPDATE: My apologies. I erroneously thought this project was going to hearing. LOIs are not required since there is no hearing. RESPONSE: NOTED, LOI’S NOT REQUIRED 11/15/2022: FOR FINAL APPROVAL: Is there a letter of intent from the owner of this land? I would like to see some sort of written documentation that the owner of this land approves of this. Comment Number: 4 12/28/2022: FOR FINAL APPROVAL ‑ UNRESOLVED Missing general notes #47, 48 (the list can just be "N/A" since there are no variances yet). Missing Street Improvements Notes, Traffic Signing and Pavement Marking Construction Notes, Storm Drainage Notes, and the Waterline Note. See Appendix E. RESPONSE: NOTES CORRECTED 11/15/2022: FOR FINAL APPROVAL: The general notes do not appear to be current. Please use the most recent general/construction notes from LCUASS Appendix E. Comment Number: 7 01/06/2023: FOR FINAL APPROVAL ‑ UPDATE: The LOI is not necessary with no hearing. But the signature block for the ditch company is needed and it will need to be signed by the ditch owner before recording. RESPONSE: COOP SIGNATURE BLOCK ADDED TO COVER SHEET 11/15/2022: FOR FINAL APPROVAL: Is there a signed letter‑of‑intent from this ditch owner already? There needs to be a signature block from the ditch company on the cover sheet. Comment Number: 8 12/28/2022: FOR FINAL APPROVAL ‑ UPDATE: Please show the proposed easement in its entirety on the northern side. See redlines. RESPONSE: LINEWORK UPDATED 11/15/2022: FOR FINAL APPROVAL: The waterline easement to the north doesn't fully cover the proposed waterline. Is there an existing easement that is making up the distance? It needs to be shown with a reception number of this is the case. Otherwise, the proposed easement must be extended. Comment Number: 11 12/30/2022: FOR FINAL APPROVAL: All existing easements need to be shown in the utility plans with corresponding reception numbers or book/page numbers. RESPONSE: REC NO. ADDED FOR THE REDMAN SUBDIVISION TO ACCOUNT FOR THE 80’ PRIVATE ACCESS AND THE 10’ UTILITY EASEMENT Comment Number: 12 01/05/2023: FOR FINAL APPROVAL: I'm seeing that Redman is private street owned by the parcel to the south, not ROW. Do you have information that says otherwise? It may be more appropriate to call the "ROW" a private access easement. If communication has not been initiated with these property owners, it would be good to get that going. RESPONSE: ROW CHANGED TO PRIVATE ACCESS Comment Number: 13 01/10/2023: FOR RECORDING: This project cannot be recorded until these easements are conveyed by the property owners. RESPONSE: NOTED Department: Stormwater Engineering Contact: Andrew Crecca, , acrecca@fcgov.com Topic: Erosion Control Comment Number: 7 01/03/2023: For Final Acceptance: Thank you for addressing all comments from round 1.
