OLD BUSINESS
A. Request for Preliminary Plat Approval - Sam Waters
Mr. Waters request had been deferred from the last meeting
because the Board was concerned over maintenance of the
drainage/retention areas in the center of the project. Mr.
Waters had resubmitted his request with the property lines
meeting in the center, giving a portion of the drainage/retention
area to each lot.
After a brief discussion Candace Nordan motioned to recommend
approval of the plat, with a stipulation that maintenance of the
drainage/retention area be the responsibility of the owner; that
it be maintained to city specifications and standards; and that
it be written into the covenants and restrictions. Ruth Gregg
seconded the motion which carried unanimously.
