A. The
platting of land is the first (1st) step in the process of community
building. As open spaces become developed with homes and businesses,
the need for streets, utilities and community services becomes important
to maintain the quality of urban living. Since the value of land increases
in relation to the intensity of urbanization, it is realistic the
developer provide the needed improvements for the area.
B. All
improvements shall be designed and installed according to the specifications
and minimum standards of the controlling utility company or public
agency.

need not be set in concrete. Should conditions prohibit the placing
of monuments on the line, offset marking will be permitted, provided
however, that exact offset courses and distances are shown on the
plat.
B. All
boundary corners shall be appropriately marked before any building
permits will be issued.
C. A permanent
benchmark shall be accessibly placed and accurately noted on the plat,
the elevation of such benchmark to be based on the United States Geodetic
