Nancy,
Please accept this email as a new request to be placed on next month's PC agenda for another 180 day Final Plat
extension . The County has apparently decided, instead of just signing the plat, to revise t hei r regu lations to remove the
3:1 lot length-to -width requirement. Apparently, this will take a couple of months and we don 't want our Final Plat
Approval to expire .
Thank you for your consideration .
Sincerely,
Scott A. Hutch inson , P.E.
