Conditional Approval by the Commission requires submission of an amended Preliminary Plat and additional documentation as specified by the Commission. As part of the Conditional Approval, the Commission should require the developer's compliance with the list of items shown prior to the submission of an "Amended" Preliminary Plat. The following items should be addressed: 1) Amend the Preliminary Plat as per checklist. 2) Delete reference to proposed 8" sanitary sewer in the utility easement of Block 2.
