PLANNING
1. Revise the Certificate of the County Clerk to include the language "WITNESS my hand and
official Seal, at my office in Bryan, Texas." before the signature line.
2. Remove "Prop." from the 2 10' Public Utility Easements along Manuel Drive.
3. In connection with the pending Oversized Participation request for Manuel Drive, please
revise the proposed right-of-way for Manuel Drive to a 50' width with an additional 5' feet on
each side labeled as "5' Proposed Roadway Use." The 10' Public Utility Easements on
each side of Manuel Drive would still remain.
