Is this not <br />N/ <br />2.17 <br />the same as "re- platting" a subdivision? My first impression in reading the first part of this section is that the original plat would be <br />voided and the previous lot of record, minus sold lots, public improvements, etc, would remain. Then the last portion regarding <br />recording makes the process a little more clear. I think the section would be better if the wording mentioned vacating a recorded <br />plat by recording a new one that makes some changes in the plat element configurations.

It's evident that a lot of hard work has gone into this ro'ect. <br />N/ <br />Access to different sections <br />As people become accustomed to this new document it will be important to provide different kinds of helpful <br />guidance for users to find the sections of the document that are pertinent to their needs. The "Comparative <br />Table" is quite helpful, and is an example of the guidance that will be needed during the transition. Having <br />some kind of on -line search mechanism would be helpful. Perhaps that is already under development. <br />3 <br />Previous comments <br />Thank you for addressing CFE comments on the preliminary draft UDO that were submitted April 2010. In <br />some cases we could not find the applicable section so those comments may be repeated herein. <br />N/ <br />Consistent use of punctuation for <br />Please check the many lists of standards to make sure there is consistency in the use of punctuation (e.g., <br />he many lists of standards <br />periods or commas or semi - colons). For example, on Page 6 -63 the some of listed items under (B) Basic <br />throughout the document <br />Plant Types (1) thru (5) end with a period and some have no period. On Page 6 -73 some of the listed items <br />under (C) Fences and Walls end with a comma and some end with a period. On the bottom of that same <br />page, one item has no punctuation, while another ends in a semi - colon. <br />1 <br />1) Incorporated; 2) For further BOCC discussion; 3) Implementation Bridge - Possible future phases; 4) Suggesting no action <br />
