The UDO requires the enclosure gates to be solid, opaque steel gates painted a color that is compatible with the enclosure walls or building it serves. If the gates depicted on the elevations are solid, opaque steel gates in compliance with UDO requirements, a simple e-mail to this effect can be sent to me to address this comment. If the gates do not meet UDO requirements, the two affected sheets shall be revised and adequately labeled to indicate compliance with the UDO.

PLAT. The property is required to be platted prior to the issuance of any building permit. The property may be platted via a minor plat if no ROW is proposed to be dedicated as part of the plat. The dedication of ROW via a plat will require the submittal and approval of both a preliminary plat and final plat.
