Steps without a record are shown as not yet requested or not on record: absence of a record here is a records gap, not a finding about the facility. An authority shown for an empty step is the body that would issue it. Some authorities are shown before any record exists, from mapped utility service areas or, for sewer service, from municipal limits; these carry a marker naming the basis.
Site control comes first in every path: a proponent must hold a deed, lease, or purchase option on every parcel of the site before it can apply. Parcel and ownership records have not yet been pulled for this facility.
