EWINEERING COMMENTS NO. 1 Please add a 20-ft PUE at the rear of all lots. Where the lot rears abut each other, 10-ft can be taken from each lot. These easements have been added except for rear lot lines which follow existing drainage ways. All of the utilities for Saddle Creek have been located along the front lot lines. There has been no request for rear lot line easements by any utility company. Creating utility easements along the lot lines/drainage ways could allow clearing of the vegetation of these areas which are typically heavily wooded. These wooded drainage ways provide a buffer between lots in many cases. There is no need for these additional easements. No rear lot line easements have been added to Lots 75, 76, and 77 of Block 2 and Lots 58, 59 and 60 of Block 4. Lr© Please label minimum finished floor elevations.

The existing drainage ways carry the natural flow of water. Since the lot lines generally follow the center of the drainage way, it will be very difficult for a lot owner to block the drainage without some encroachment onto the adjoining lot. If an easement is placed on these lots, it may appear that a lot owner can encroach onto his neighbor's lot and make changes to the vegetation and topography as long as he does not go outside the easement. We think that placement of a private drainage easement in these areas could result in problems. State law prevents blocking the natural flow of water. There have been no problems with the way we have proposed it. The following note has been added to the Final Plat. "The existing drainage ways shall be preserved in their current condition and the natural flow of water in the existing drainage ways shall not be obstructed". 14 Shouldn't there be an easement or buffer area for the gas pipeline preventing homes from being built on or near it? The Developer is working with the pipeline company to define an easement for the pipeline and establish a buffer distance which can be added to the deed restrictions. < lqw o'-� -Phis cw- ov) 4Ae �' ?
