Vizzier said that the matter of private versus public streets will be resolved when the matter of street lights goes before the Board of Directors.

Newhouse asked about access. Vizzier said there will be only one entrance/exit, but that it will be accessible at two points. Vizzier said concerning drainage, he had discussed with Clayton Powell the matter of concrete lined ditches every lot line, and they had come up with something more reasonable. Vizzier said that Powell had been concerned about construction debris being placed in the natural drainage. Powell wants these natural drainage ditches kept clear. Water will be bled off the streets, and down the slopes. Some retaining ponds may installed with controlled overflow. Newhouse asked where these ponds would be placed. Vizzier said the Developers are only considering the concept of retaining ponds, but that if they are installed, they will probably be placed in the recreation areas.

Mel Milholland pointed out that if the Developers decide not to connect the sidewalks t� the street, separate engineering profiles will have to be submitted for the sidewalks.
