The files included in the Round 1 submittal did not follow these standards so please be sure to follow them with your Round 2 submittal. Please follow the Electronic Submittal Requirements and File Naming Standards found here: https://www.fcgov.com/developmentreview/files/electronic-submittal-requirements- 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.

(pdf will be name accordingly) Comment Number: 4 01/22/2025: SUBMITTAL: All plans should be saved as optimized/flattened PDFs to reduce file size and remove layers. Some of the files included in the Round 1 submittal did not follow these standards so please be sure to follow them with your Round 2 submittal. 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".

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.

(comment read) Department: Engineering Development Review Contact: Tim Dinger, tdinger@fcgov.com Topic: General Comment Number: 1 01/27/2025: FOR APPROVAL: W. Elizabeth Street is classified as a 2-lane arterial by the City's Master Street Plan. Therefore, you will need to dedicate a 42-foot 'half' right-of-way (ROW), and a 15-foot width utility easement on your property adjacent to the ROW. This means an additional 12' of ROW must be dedicated by this plat. Please see LCUASS Figure 7-3F for more information. (plat shows 12’ ROW to be dedicated and 15’ UE) Comment Number: 2 01/27/2025: FOR APPROVAL: Please add the access easement for the walkway through the site to the plat, and add "dedicated by separate document, reception #xxx" as a label. Fill in the reception number when the easement is recorded with the Polestar Village project. (recorded # added) Comment Number: 3 01/27/2025: INFORMATION: Since you are depicting the ditch company's easement on the plat, they will need to review and most likely sign the plat. We have routed the plat to them for review, but please reach out to them directly to ensure they have looked at the plat and have provided any comments they might have.
