Re: Corrected Resolution Approving Northridge Heights Subdivision 14t'Addition
Dear Mayor Campbell and Members of the City Council:
At its July 26,2011 meeting the City Council approved the final plat of the Northridge Heights
Subdivision 14t'Addition. Following approval, a scrivener's error in the subdivision legal
description was discovered. Outlot"V V"had been typed as Outlot"W' as part of the legal
descriptions in the documents submitted to the City by the developer.
In order to remedy this error,the developer's attorney has prepared and submitted corrected
copies of his title opinion, the property owner's consent, and the City Council resolution
approving the subdivision plat. I have reviewed the corrected documents and found them to
comply with legal requirements. I therefore recommend that the City Council approve the
attached Corrected Resolution Approving Northridge Heights Subdivision 14t"Addition.
Yours truly,
4 �.V�-
Douglas R. Marek
City Attorney
