Gray stated that a preliminary plat of this property had been submitted 2 or 3
years ago, but because of economic problems, it was never developed. He added
that this property is heavily wooded and they want to maintain the nature of this

Winkler stated that the easement requested by the Gas Company would be sufficient
for them to serve the property. He advised that their policy states that

the sewer line, in case it is extended. He stated that the water meters would
need to be placed where they are easily accessible.
