TORIGOE:But it sounds like the concern is that if it applies on a prospective forward looking basis that a less scrupulous planning director could use that to, you know, just pass it on to other reviewers and have that deemed to be a legitimization of a subdivision proposal that is really lacking some very substantial information. YUEN:Well, thats why we need to go through the list of -. I mean if that is a concern, then what we need to do is do what I did in preparing this, is go through the list of things that are there, like 23-69, and show that youre not opening door to the planning director to approve a subdivision that should not be approved by putting these, by saying that the lack of this information on the final plat does not invalidate the subdivision. Now, as a practical matter, if you, if somebody wants to completely, you know, make an erroneous subdivision, if they want to allow 10,000 square foot lots in a 15,000 square foot lot zone and somehow that goes through all the process, its not insulated by these amendments. ALAMEDA:Perhaps for the comfort of the Commission, I know were not asking for it,butIthinkwearekindofunderneath,itmightbeagoodideatogothroughthelist,unless theres any objections. All right, Mr. Director. YUEN:Okay, 23-69, this is the information on final plat. This is what can be, if its missing from the final plat and its approved despite the fact that its missing, the final plat will be approved anyway. I mean somebody cannot go to court and say throw out the subdivision afterwards. And its a date, northpoint and scale of drawing; legal description of track boundaries; names and addresses of the owner, subdivider and engineer, or surveyor who prepared the plat. We took out, the only thing were completely taking out and you dont have to put this on, approved street names on dedicable streets. And the street naming process often takes place later. Thats just a matter of procedure now. So thats why were not requiring it on the final plat anymore. Reference points of existing surveys identified, related to the plat by distances and azimuths, and reference to a field book or map as follows. Then it goes through a series of surveying requirements. GRAHAM:Could I ask a question. YUEN:Sure. ALAMEDA:We might stop you as you go. So go ahead, Commissioner Graham. GRAHAM:What are you trying to do? Are you trying to go through these things one at a time and at each point kind of inquire of us whether we think that might be lacking or this might be sufficient reason that the subdivision not go forward? Or are you just sort of going to read along and wait and see if we make that claim? YUEN:No. GRAHAM:Or what are you trying to do? YUEN:Actually its that if the Department happened to approve a subdivision, not that, all of this stuff is still required. 21EXHIBIT D
