Replat/PUD?

Commissioner for Substandard Right of Way. Suggested to get Right
of Way variance before set buildings. Minimum right of way is 35 ft.
from center and maybe hard to meet requirement in this area.
Concern with location of entrance and with size of lots will be difficult to
achieve minimum intersection space per County standards. Also concern with
entrance facing adjacent homes which can cause problems with headlights
shining into their homes when people coming and going from community.
Drainage concerns along Cornell Ave., 105 St. and McPherson
Ryan Hartman- Clay Township Regional Waste
-Sent comments and working out issues directly
Concern is condition of main 24 inch reinforced concrete pipe

Property to be owned individually

Southside McPherson and 105 Street, lines are running through middle of lot.
May have issues with height of buildings since existing lines are older lines and
hang lower. Not sure if there is an utility easement already or if an
encroachment may be needed
