The property has never been platted, so the application must include a plat. f. The new Shields building has to be a Project Development Plan (PDP) with plat application. . g. You have your choice on the pool building conversion to lump it together with the Shields building's PDP, or have it stand alone as it's own application. If the pool building conversion stands alone, you have your choice to process it as either a POP with plat or a Major Amendment application processed parallel to a plat application. In either case, the site will need to be brought up into compliance to the "extent reasonably feasible." E V 7. Light and Power: a. Normal development fees apply. 8. Transportation: a.
