I also, reviewed the title insurance policy that covers the property contained within the final plat and the condition of title is in order for purposes of final plat approval. I did request that the lender with the mortgage on the property, Lakes State Bank, have the title insurance company that issued the title policy provide us with an updated title insurance commitment. I expect we will receive that shortly. I did previously meet with the surveyor, Pat Trottier, that prepared the Common Interest Community Plat and I discussed with Mr. Trottier what the Planning Commission and/or staff may require as part of the final plat approval and Mr. Trottier indicated what he understood where specific items that would need to be addressed in the Declaration of Covenants for the Plat. I drafted the necessary association documents for the common area identified on the Plat as well as the necessary Declaration of Covenants for the Plat. I drafted those documents with the understanding that my role in terms of drafting documents was for purposes of ensuring that the documents were consistent with, and incorporated if necessary, conditions of approval by the City. I included within Section 20 of the draft Declaration, the items that I understood the Planning Commission and/or staff would require as conditions of approval for the final plat. I incorporated those items specifically within the Declaration so that all future owners of lots within the Plat would be aware of the conditions of approval as it specifically relates to utilities and maintenance thereof,as well as how any future special assessment would be billed and collected by the City. If the Planning Commission and/or staff have additional conditions of approval that the Commission would like to incorporate, my suggestion would be that we review those additional conditions and determine if it would be appropriate to include those in the Declaration.
