The City Engineer's office has received a letter from Yakima County indicating that all improvements made under their jurisdiction are final and inspected. Equally, City Engineering has completed its final inspection of this plat and all items being completed, the City Engineer has signed the plat. The Code Administration and Planning Division has likewise reviewed the final plat for Phase 5 and finds it to be in substantial conformance with the terms and conditions of the preliminary approval and therefore the Subdivision Administrator has also signed the plat.
