In other business Jeff Gibson, City Engineer, informed the commissioners that the committee formed for revising the Code of Ordinances are not going to rewrite the ordinances but are going to remove the ordinances but are going to remove the ordinances no longer needed.
The necessary of having 13 copies of all drawings submitted was the next item of business. It was stated that besides being costly to the developer the utilities are not picking up the plats that are made for them and that with so many copies floating around the chances of an error being made are greatly increased. The commissions discussed whether it would be feasible or not to have sepia made and placed on file in the MAPC office should there be any requests for copies.
Ending the discussion was a motion by Mr. Lusby that the ordinances be followed concerning the number of copies of drawings needed. The ordinances state that 5 copies are needed for preliminary approval, 6 copies for final approval and 10 copies for annexations. These drawings should also have the necessary signatures prior to them being submitted to the commission. Mr. Orr seconded the motion. All members present voting aye. MOTION APPROVED.
