D. 15SUES/LEGAZITECHNICAL/DESIGN:
There is an area at the southeast corner of the tract
designated as "open space". There must be some means
provided for the maintenance of this area.
There are deficiencies in the p'Iat which has been submitted:
1) a metes and bounds description must be shown; 2)
contours are to be at 2 foot intervals; 3) the street names
have not been shown; 4) the names of abutting subdivisions,
with their book and page number or instrument number must be
shown; 5) the names of abutting property owners where the
land has not been platted must be shown; 6) the physical
description of all monuments must be shown; 7) the zoning

E. ANALYSIS•
The City does not want to assume maintenance of the "Open
Space" tract designated on the plat. A provision for
private ownership and maintenance must be made.
The deficiencies in the plat are minimal and are easily
correctable by the engineer. There is no reason to assume
that Mr. McGetrick will not have the required information
shown on the drawings prior to the Commission review.
