contains 248.45 acres, more or less.
Mr. looney presented a brief staff report. The 'fechnical A.dvisery Committee reviewed
this plat at their January 28, 1998 regular meeting. At that meeting the plat depicted a
one lot, one block addition with a 17.5 utility easement. The applicants requested that
no additional utility easements be shown on either the preliminary or final plat. The
applicants proposed a blanket easement over the entire area of the plat for utility
construction purposes. 'Phis will allow for the placement of utility lines within any area
that is necessary. After completion the utility easements would then be filed by separate
instrument for the exact location of the lines. This will prevent the platting of unneeded
easernents. In addition to final plat approval, a site plan and landscaping plan approval,
as well as permits from DEQ for water and sewer line construction, will need to be
secured prior to any construction. Staff recommends approval of the preliminary plat.
