The County Treasurer has certified that all real property taxes and special assessments assessed and levied on the land to subdivide have been paid. Attached is a memorandum from Susana Montana, Senior Planner, stating the staff has concluded that all terms and conditions of the preliminary plat approval have been met. Improvements Agreements are required for final plat approval of this subdivision. The improvements agreements guarantee the installation of public and private sidewalks, grading of a temporary stormwater pond on a restricted development Lot 2, Block 2 to expand its capacity, and landscaping of public areas within 3 years of final plat approval.
