Correct file naming is required as part of a complete submittal. Please follow
the Electronic Submittal Requirements and File Naming Standards found here:
https://www.fcgov.com/developmentreview/files/electronic-submittal-requiremen
ts-and-file-naming-standards_v1_8-1-19.pdf?1703783275
File names should have the corresponding number, followed by the file type
prefix, project information, and round number.

A list of numbers and prefixes for each file can be found at the link above.
Ripley Design Response: Files have been named per the standards.
Comment Number: 4
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".

PLAT AND PLANNING SET:
Could you please update the City signature blocks on the Plat and Planning
Set? Instead of using "this _______ day of ______A.D., 20____," could you opt
for "on this day, ____________" for the date? This alternative format facilitates
smoother date input with digital signatures.
Additionally, kindly ensure there is sufficient space between the signature line
and the title line to accommodate the digital signature.
HKS Response: Updated

06/10/2025: FOR HEARING:
This proposed project is processing as a Type 2 Development Plan. The
decision maker for Type 2 is the Planning and Zoning (P&Z) Commission. For
the hearing, we will formally notify surrounding property owners within 800 feet
(excluding public right-of-way and publicly owned open space).
All "For Hearing" comments need to be addressed and resolved prior to
moving forward with scheduling the Hearing. Staff will need to agree the project
is ready for Hearing approximately 4 to 8 weeks prior to the hearing. I have
attached the P&Z schedule, which has key dates leading up to the hearing.
Ripley Design Response: Acknowledged. Thanks!

06/05/2025: NO HISTORIC REVIEW REQUIRED:
This proposal does not require historic review because there are no designated
historic resources on the site and the nature of the project does not impact any
historic resources that may lie on the development site or within 200 feet of the site.
Ripley Design Response: Thanks, Jim.

It is not clear that runoff from Lots 8 & 9 drain on the surface to Lot 14. If the
100-YR flows from these lots are captured by the inlets and storm pipe in
Comrie Drive, then these two blanket easements may not be necessary. Please confirm.
