Mr. Conklin read from the minutes of the meeting which approved the preliminary
plat: "Mr. Bunn recommended approval be subject to ... paving of the private road.

chip and seal, not creek gravel.

Mr. Osborn asked if they were sure the entire subdivision with the exception of lots
57 through 63 would be single-family homes.
Mr. Gray stated that was fixed. He advised they might end up replatting the east
end because there was a lot of flood plain area. He stated they were in the process
of getting the topography on that area and establishing the exact location of the
flood plain.
Mr. Osborn advised they would have to come up with 6 to 8 names for the streets.
He also asked if they knew which way the house would sit on the corner lots. He
explained that often the houses were water tapped one way and then the house ended
up facing the other direction and the meter was behind a privacy fence. He stated
he would like to have all of the meters at the front of the property.

if they desired to make a change he would like all the engineers and developers to
have input on the change.
Mr. Milholland recommended they go out and measure the radius at cul-de-sacs.
Mr. Allen pointed out that, if they did not allow parking on the cul-de-sacs, there
would not be as much of a problem.
In response to a question from Mr. Allen, Ms. Little explained they could not build
in the floodway but, if they built in the flood plain, it would have to be elevated
three feet.
