Re: Final Plat Application Revisions for Van Norhop Estates
Dear Mr. Norberg:
I have mailed the redlined copies of your final plat map and cover sheet, with corrections marked by the reviewing surveyor to Riipinen Surveying. Please assure that your surveyor makes
the changes as addressed on the redline copies. The revised copies must be returned to me by Wednesday, May 1, 2002 to make the May 8, 2002 City Council Meeting. When the revised copies
are returned, please include:
1 Mylar copy for recording
1 Full size paper copy for our records
1 11x17 reduced copy
Return all redlined copies.
I have reviewed the other items submitted for recording, and need for you to submit your homeowners Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws, and Covenants and Restrictions. There have been
no changes made to the other items submitted for recording.
Attached with this letter is a bill for survey review costs. Please submit a check in the amount of $375.00.
I am returning your check submitted for the extension of the sewer system, and the City’s calculation of cost estimate. Please submit a new check in the amount of $3,960.00.
Regarding the grass in the planter strip along Van Norhop St. All new subdivisions require Type III landscaping, Chapter 17.80.050 D(a), which includes planter strips, such as the one
on Mill Road.
“This type of landscaping consists of street trees for a large overstory canopy along streets and pedestrian corridors and grass or other approved vegetation for ground cover.”
You have the option to either plant the planter strip with sod or hydroseed, or you may provide the City with a “Letter of Credit and Assigned Savings” that covers the cost and installation.
Because this is a requirement of final plat approval, we are not able to leave an open end on this Letter of Credit. The due date for the completion of the sod or hydroseeding shall
be June 15, 2002. This Letter of Credit will be released at the time that the entire planting strip is complete with grass. I have attached the form for your use.
Jim Gibson reviewed the site today and has found that items from the final construction punch list have not been completed. Please call Jim Gibson when these items are complete, to
arrange for a re-inspection. The items are:
Stormwater system:
Silt tees and inverted elbows must be installed in the required catchbasins.
Clean out catchbasin sumps.
All items must be returned by Wednesday, May 1, 2002, so that the plat can go before City Council for approval. If you are not able to get the required documents back by May 1, we can
schedule City Council review for May 24, 2002, in which case documents must be returned by May 10, 2002. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call. I can be reached
at (360) 458-8496.
Sincerely,
Tami Merriman
Planning Technician
