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".

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.

06/20/2025: INFORMATION:
Water Utilities will not require further documentation of the drainage path
between the church and the parsonage. I just wanted to point out that the church
could be liable if stormwater runoff from the church were to cause damage to
the parsonage once the separate lot is created. This should not be a concern if
the existing grade prevents church runoff from reaching the parsonage.

06/16/2025: It's not clear what is happening with this re-plat/change. Any new
property lines must be 5ft from existing residential structures and 10ft from PL
for existing commercial structures to maintain fire separation distance. Contact
Russ in Building Services to verify new PL locations to create violations for
existing buildings.
New plat should have details outlining this and all requirements of setback are met.
