permits and approvals prior to release of the plat for recording.

3. The City Attorney's comments set forth in the plat opinion shall be addressed prior
to release of the plat for recording.
4. Lot 1, Block 1 will continue to be used for agricultural purposes in combination

the minor subdivision shall be considered void, unless a request for a time
extension is submitted in writing and approved by the council.
