LSP 04-17.00: Lot Split (Hatcher, pp 406) was submitted by Rudy Hatcher for property
located at 488 and 510 W. Lawson Street. The property is zoned RSF-4, Residential
Single-family, 4 units per acre, and contain approximately 0.64 acres. The request is to
split the subject property into two tracts of 0.18 and 0.46 acres respectively.
Pate: We will go ahead and start the Technical Plat Review Committee meeting
for Wednesday, April 14, 2004. There are six items on the agenda.
Number five will be delayed until the next round so we will be hearing
five items. Item number one is LSP 04-17.00 for Hatcher submitted by
Rudy Hatcher located on Lawson Street. The request is to split the subject
property into two tracts of .18 and .46 acres. Suzanne will be giving this
report.
Morgan: I'm going to briefly go over some of the comments that Planning made on
this. If you would please identify the acreage or square footage of each
proposed lot.
Hatcher: It is on there.
Morgan: There is a lot of stuff on here so I may have just missed it. Please indicate
the plat page, 406. Identify the property owner on the plat. Show the
required setbacks for the RSF-4 zoning district. One thing, you may need
to enlarge the size of the sheet to get the signature blocks on there. Also,
show the curb cuts and drives. Also, a surveyor's signature and seal is
required. Finally, another is to indicate the existing right of way from
centerline. Those were the majority of the comments. If you have any
questions about the others you're welcome to call me. Matt, do you have
any comments?
Matt Casey — Staff Engineer
Casey: Just that you need to label the water and sewer mains. It is a 2" water and
a 6" sewer out in the street. That's all I have.
Ohman: There are no Parks comments.
Mike Phipps — Ozark Electric Coop.
Phipps: No comment.
Johney Boles — Arkansas Western Gas
Boles: If you would just show that utility easement on the north side of Lawson
Street that runs east and west. I don't recall what the dimensions are.
Larry Gibson — Cox Communications

LSP 04-18.00/LSP 04-20.00: Lot Splits (Fitzgerald, pp 398) were submitted by
Jorgensen & Associates on behalf of Don Fitzgerald for property located on the NW
corner of 51" Street and Wedington Drive. The property is zoned RSF-4, Residential
Single-family, 4 units per acre, and contains approximately 1.09 acres. The request is to
split the property into 3 tracts of 0.33, 0.33, and 0.43 acres respectively.
Pate: Item number two is LSP 04-18.00 and LSP 04-20.00 for Fitzgerald
submitted by Jorgensen. The property is located at 5151 and Wedington.
This is two lot splits.
Morgan: I have a few comments from Planning. Label the zoning for adjacent and
subject property and add the plat page number. The right of way from
centerline, 51 s` Street has 45' from centerline dedicated right of way to the
west and 30' from centerline to the east. This is going to change the lot
dimensions somewhat so if you could indicate that. Also, if you could
place the existing and proposed right of way on Wedington and any
additional right of way that needs to be dedicated will need to be done
with a Warranty Deed. 51" Street will need to be the access point for all
of these lots so we can avoid a curb cut on Wedington Drive. In addition,
include the owner's signature block and I included that for you. Those are
the majority of the comments. If you have any questions let me know.
Matt?
Matt Casey — Staff Engineer
Casey: The only comment is our maps show that the sewer main is on the west
side of the road and it is shown on the plat here on the east so if you can
verify that. If it is on the west, relocate that over there to make sure we've
got a 10' easement from that main. That's all I have.
Ohman: There will be parks fees assessed in the amount of $1,110 for two
additional lots. There is also an existing park fee for the original lot of
$105, as part of the original subdivision. These fees will be due at the
time of building permit. The total is $1,215.
Mike Phipps — Ozark Electric Coop.
Phipps: Any relocation of existing facilities will be at the developer's expense.
That's all I have.
Johney Boles — Arkansas Western Gas
Boles: Just go ahead and shift that easement along 51s` Street to the west as you
dedicate that additional street right of way. We have an existing line that
runs across the front of both of those lots.

R-PZD 04-06.00: Residential Planned Zoning District (Rupple Row, pp 439) was
submitted by Chris Brackett of Jorgensen & Associates on behalf of John Nock of Nock
Investments, LLC for property located on Rupple Road, south of Wedington Drive. The
property is currently zoned RT -12, Residential Two and Three-family, and RSF-4,
Residential Single-family, 4 units per acre, and contains approximately 41.70 acres. The
request is to rezone the subject property to a Residential Planned Zoning District to allow
the development of a residential subdivision with 180 single family and 39 two-family
lots (258 dwelling units) proposed.
Pate: The next item we will hear is the R-PZD for Rupple Row submitted by
Chris Brackett on behalf of John Nock. A subdivision PZD requires
covenants to be submitted. I included some of the information here with
regard to what is required. A POA or Homeowner's Association, also any
ideas about landscaping, architecture or site design. Standards that will be
overall for the development that any separate builder will have to follow
just as part of the covenants. That is something that the Commissioners
and the Council are going to be looking at. Those will have to be filed at
the time of the Final Plat when this comes back through. This PZD entails
the rezoning request in tandem with the development proposal so this will
be forwarded to the full Planning Commission and City Council. The
current zoning is RT12 and RSF-4. The lot width and area are determined
by the developer as a component as a part of this PZD process, as is the
density. If you could provide a breakdown in the chart here what the
maximum density is. It could probably just be an addition to this chart in
this area here.
Brackett: Do you want the density that was shown?
Pate: Basically the acreage of the RT -12 and the acreage of the RSF-4 for
current density. The total obviously, is 6.19 units per acre, and I have the
total for what you are proposing here. As I mentioned, a Homeowner's
Association must be legally established within the covenants. I also talked
to you yesterday about providing additional sheets to this packet. Maybe a
first sheet should be an overall smaller scale drawing of everything shown
including site detention, on one sheet. It is a lot easier for Commissioners
and Aldermen to look at that as opposed to flipping sheets all the time.
The side setbacks, I've noticed area all zero setbacks. We do need to
speak about determining specifically if one lot develops on one property
line, how is the next lot permitted. Somehow we need to include some
language in the covenants and on the plat that specifically represents that,
whether it is the minimum distance between buildings or something, just
so we can meet our minimum distance between buildings or something,
just so you can meet the minimum standards for building codes. If you
could also reference on the west side of the property, PZD as a label there.
Right of way dedication along Persimmon, technically only the property
you own is allowed to be dedicated. I believe you are only going to be 35'
Technical Plat Review
April 15, 2004
Page 7
from centerline to the north, unless all the property owners sign the
dedication blocks along the south as well. That is something that is just
really a change on the plat. If you could label street names on the Final
Plat. The street name of Persimmon and Rupple there. Also, in the
covenants if you could include the use units just like you do on the plat. A
lot of this is working in tandem. Most typically a homeowner wouldn't
get a copy of the whole plat, they would just have covenants so we just
want to make sure those items are addressed in both places. We do need
to determine, as we talked again, an appropriate method for the detention
pond. I don't know if it is appropriate with an offsite detention pond that
is not included in the legal description of the PZD. Whether it is a
separate lot, it might be more appropriate to have it in a drainage
easement.
Casey: There will need to be some sort of easement to take care of that and also a
maintenance agreement. It needs to be handled in some sort of a legal
document.
Pate: The owner of the property would have to grant a permanent drainage area.
Casey: There would need to be an agreement between the two property owners,
one being the POA, and also the maintenance of it.
Pate: That is actually creating a lot. It will have to meet all of the minimum
standards of whatever it is zoned. If you could just label the 6' sidewalks
along both Persimmon and Rupple that are to be constructed. Also, some
additional streetlights may be necessary, they are required every 300'.
There was a contractual agreement that went through for when this overall
subdivision went through, this is Lot 7 of WHM Investments subdivision.
There is a contract there that states that there are fees due if there are
additional units above what was agreed to with that contract. I believe
there is a contracted total of 81 single family units and 28 duplex or
townhouse units. Obviously, the units that you are proposing are an
additional amount and exceeds that. There was a dollar amount agreed to
by the developer of that Final Plat. Again, that will be due at the time of
Final Plat. That number equals a total of $29,980.70 in cash or a check to
the City of Fayetteville and then the letter of credit due is $19.987.30.
Those are basically impact fees for the assessment of Rupple Road
development as a minor arterial street. In your correspondence letters, I'm
assuming that these lots will be restricted from accessing the front. They
will all be alley loaded. If you could include that in your covenants and as
a note on the plat. I've included the note here that all residential
driveways shall be a maximum of 24' measured at the right of way line.
That is a standard comment. However, if there are not going to be any off
of the right of ways, disregard that and include a note for all residential
drives. We do need to include a specific note too that any lots fronting on
Technical Plat Review
April 15, 2004

Rupple and Persimmon will be restricted from access. Craig is not here
today but he mentioned that he might want to talk to you about any
landscaping as conditions of the covenants, along Persimmon here where
the parallel parking is. That is something that he would like to be
involved in if at all possible. Trash service, since this is going to be from
the alleys, I didn't receive any comments from him but I will talk with him
and see if he has any problems with the plat. That is the bulk of our
comments. Matt, do you have anything additional to add?
Matt Casey — Staff Eneineer
Casey: Chris, if you can show the proposed water line with the existing 12" line
on Rupple. Show proposed by others maybe just for informational
purposes. Also, you will need to make the 12" connection south on
Rupple to Persimmon. I spoke with you earlier, we are going to look into
the potential of a cost share to upsize the 8" line along Persimmon to a 12"
line to complete the 12" grid. I had a question about this lot 221, is it
proposed as a buildable lot?
Brackett: No it is not. That is going to be an area for a shed for the landscaping
equipment that is going to be needed.
Casey: If you can label that.
Brackett: We have it labeled lots 220 to 222 to be common area maintained by the
POA.
Casey: I just noticed that they did not have utility services on them. Also, this
sewer main on lot 224, we need to make sure that that angle is 90° before
it comes into the existing line. It looks like it is coming in at an acute
angle. Also, I need to work with you on the intersection here. It looks
like you are proposing just a stop and we will need to make that
connection somehow.
Brackett: That is actually off our property. There may be some kind of cost share
since that is the Boys and Girls Club property that is coming onto that
intersection.
Casey: We will need to visit about that and try to get that squared away.
Hopefully, before Subdivision Committee. It is my opinion that that will
need to be connected. Otherwise, Persimmon is not going to go anywhere.
They are going to be forced to go through your development to get to
Rupple so we need to sit down and have a meeting about that and work
out the details. I think Jeremy has already covered the sidewalk along
Rupple and Persimmon. That's all I have for now.

Rebecca Ohman — Parks Division
Ohman: Chris, we have on record a deed for 5.27 acres for tract 5 that was banked
for future use. If you apply that amount to this development you still fall a
little bit short of what is required for the 180 single family units and 78
multi -family units. Your total is 5.65 acres so you are a little short so this
will have to go to the Parks Board and the next meeting is May 3`d. We
can work that out. Please get with me to let me know if you would like to
do the remainder as fees or in land.
Nock: I thought the ordinance stated that it was exempt from that when it was
approved as WHM. I thought there was a specific line item on that.
Pate: If you have some specific information with regard to that please supply it
to us. We haven't come across anything.
Brackett: Depending on whether it is or not. So does that hold us up here?
Pate: It needs to be heard prior to Subdivision Committee. That will probably
put you back one cycle.
Ohman: There may be some other options with a special meeting scheduled.
Brackett: If there is something that we can do to keep us from being tabled we
would appreciate it.
Johnev Boles — Arkansas Western Gas
Boles: Can you clarify a little bit the allowable uses? Are the multiple all
duplexes?
Brackett: Yes, these are duplex lots and they will have a duplex sitting in the middle
of the lot with approximately 15' in between. These are single family but
they are zero lot lines to the buildings will be sitting on one lot line and
then there will be a space and then there will be another building. All of
these, if you look at the way all of the easements are situated, that's how
the building will be on the north side of all of these lots all the way
around. That's how you can kind of get an idea on which side because I
have easements everywhere. I put the easements here to indicate the
building is going to be on the south side all the way around.
Boles: Is front lot service an option with all the utilities in the front?
Nock: It could be. We're really trying to put everything in the back. Electric
service is in the rear, all of the access alleys and everything are back there.
Technical Plat Review
April 15, 2004
Page 10
Brackett: We are placing these buildings all the way on the front of the lot. There is
going to be like 5' from the right of way to the door. That's the style.
Boles: In the alleyways are there going to be driveways jointly shared between
lots on property lines?
Nock: No.
Boles: We've had similar projects, for example, Harbor Meadows in Springdale.
They installed their facilities and then due to later construction we've had
to go back and move everything because of driveways and things of that
nature. We would probably like to request a separate meeting for utilities
on this project if that is possible.
Brackett: The buildings are all going to be placed on one half of the lot so as long as
you are not on that half of a lot there won't be a drive. The drives will be
coming directly into the back of the building.
Boles: We probably need to have a meeting on the preliminary stage from the
design standpoint because this is going to be a very time consuming
project.
Brackett: If you want to set that up I can be available whenever you all need it.
Mike Phipps — Ozark Electric Coop.
Phipps: Rear service on these is fine. Just looking at this I'm looking at probably
200 crossings that we are going to need.
Brackett: Under drives?
Gibson: Not just under drives but under this asphalt road.
Brackett: You'll be in before the drives are.
Phipps: It is going to look like Harbor Meadows.
Boles: That was my concern. If we can just have a separate meeting we can
make sure that everybody is on the same page.
Brackett: We can set that up, just give me a call.
Boles: That's all I have.
Gibson: We'll just wait until that meeting.
Technical Plat Review
April 15, 2004
Page I1
Clouser: Same, we'll wait.
Phipps: We've got a three phase line coming from this 221 that goes over to the
Boys Club and actually follows the existing water line.
Brackett: That easement that we're showing there is existing so nothing is going to
happen to that easement.
Phipps: We're through there and then we've got an above ground vault right here.
Any relocation of that line will be at the developer's expense.
Brackett: We kept our road south of that intentionally so there won't be any
relocation of any of that.
Pate: If you could in a memo or a letter, apprise me of what happens at that
meeting in generality because we won't see you guys again on this project
until it's already in the ground. Let us know what happens. Revisions are
due on the 21" at 10:00 but that is depending on what happens with Parks.

FPL 04-08.00: Final Plat (Newcastle Estates, pp 179/180) was submitted by
Milholland Company on behalf of BMP, LLC for property located on E. Gulley Road
near Hungate Lane. The property is in the Planning Area and contains approximately
13.23 acres. The request is to approve the development of a residential subdivision with
10 single-family lots proposed.
Pate: We'll go back to a couple of items that were first on the agenda. Item
number four is the Final Plat for Newcastle Estates submitted by
Milholland Company for property located on East Gulley Road. It is a
residential subdivision with 10 single family lots proposed.
Morgan: If you could just let me know the reason, when this was a Preliminary Plat
this cul-de-sac was a little bit different.
Milholland: There were two power poles right there and it was a pretty steep hill and it
had to be relocated from going off the hillside. Do you want m to put that
in writing?
Morgan: We have it on record now. If you could clarify on note five where it says
New Street. My understanding of that was New Street was Castle Rock
Drive.
Milholland: This is long term future if you all are looking out going around through
here which is probably not going to be anything but these two lots here
have to access here, this one from here. They could access here and here
but we want them to access here. I think the county prefers them to come
off here. This one will come off into this proposed right of way.
Morgan: If you could just clarify New Street to Be Castle Rock Drive.
Milholland: Ok.
Morgan: If you could also include the building setback for building setbacks are 10'
on the sides and 20' rear, if you could just note that. I noticed that you
have it noted on some of these. Even if you just note it on the plat
somewhere saying setback minimums. The scale for these need to be at 1
to 100 so we can easily copy them and transfer them onto our plat pages. I
attached the certification block for Final Plats. Also, county approval is
required. Also, if you could place the approved addresses on the plat.
Milholland: I was told that the addresses would not be put on these until the houses
were built.
Pate: We will need to talk to Jim Johnson because we typically want them on
the plat when it is actually platted so that we know when someone comes
in for a water tap or sewer connection.
Technical Plat Review

Milholland: I will find out. You said something about County approval.
Morgan: The county will have to approve this plat prior to filing. Matt, do you
have any comments?
Matt Casey — Staff Eneineer
Casey: Mel, we will have to have a final inspection before the deadline for the
Subdivision Committee. Also, we will need the as builts, bonds and
construction costs prior to signing the Final Plat. I think we've already got
the as builts but I haven't seen any bonds.
Mike Phipps — Ozark Electric Coop.
Phipps: We are going into the rear of these lots is that correct?
Milholland: Yes, that is cleared, a 20' strip all the way around the back of 1 through 5
and the west side of lots 5, 10 and 9, you all didn't want us to get in the
powerlines.
Phipps: You've got 15' on the east side.
Milholland: It's cleared also.
Gibson: You said the west side of 5?
Milholland: If you are coming around the back of this you will be going up the west
side of 5 right here in this 15' and around to here there is conduit.
Gibson: So that is a conduit marked right here, I was wondering if that was one.
Milholland: Yes, it is a quad.
Gibson: So lot 6 will be served from the back of 5.
Milholland: Seven will be crossed there and 8 will be served along here with 5.
Phipps: I may take it around that cul-de-sac. Looking at lot 6 the distance may be
too great to feed two off of one transformer. Which I'm still in that
transmission line easement in there.
Gibson: We can cross at that crossing.
Milholland: You all need to run up one side then the other so that's what I've done the
conduits for.
Technical Plat Review
April 15, 2004
Page 14
Phipps: What you've got is a transformer here and here, two, two and two. You
get down here so this transformer is going to be for five and you've got six
sitting by itself. The transformer is going to have to be either here or down
here.
Milholland: Can you set that transformer for six over on the edge of five where that
easement is at?
Phipps: I can but if the entrance on the house is over here and you've got 300'
that's not going to work. If they want to build that house as close as they
can to that transformer we can do that. I don't think they want to do that.
Milholland: I haven't cleared the east side of six because I didn't understand that that
was what we were going to do. Can you come up the west side of 5 and
then go around from there?
Phipps: We can cross here and come back probably.
Milholland: I'm saying to go the way that you're going with your power but can't you
just come up to here and around like that? This is not cleared and this is.
Johnev Boles — Arkansas Western Gas
Boles: If we are going to come up through this 15' easement here to get to this
crossing can this 10' here be increased to 15'?
Milholland: Yes, we can do that.
Phipps: Do they have the water in?
Milholland: Yes. Do you need any easement from the overhead to 6 in the back there,
do you need an easement on the corner in the back there, a 20'x20' or
something like that?
Phipps: The south side of 6 I thought that easement went through there. Just make
that a 20' setback and UE.
Milholland: You all didn't need it so I just cut that easement back and made it a
building setback. We can put you an easement there in the corner.
Phipps: Yeah, just make it a setback and a UE. I would like to have that just in
case something else happens on this future street that we will need to get
through there.
Technical Plat Review
April 15, 2004
Page 15
Milholland: We will do it, we were just trying to save all the trees we could. It's not
cleared.
Phipps: We're not going to go that way but if anybody does something in the
future maybe we can get to the other side.
Milholland: I'll either get you a 20' UE there or put you a 20'x20' corner. We were
trying to cater to trees on this subdivision for the people who wanted trees.
We thought that would be a selling point to save everything we could.
Boles: Do you have any idea on the minimum square footage of houses?
Milholland: 3,000 with no front entrances. It will be either side or rear entrances.
Larry Gibson — Cox Communications
Gibson: I just want to make them aware that because of the distance, it is 10 lots
and a really great distance going around the back of this. This is
something that we don't normally do but Cox Communications may ask
for a fee to build all of it.
Milholland: You'll be going in a trench with someone else?
Gibson: If we can get it designed and approved in time we can probably go in with
electric but I can't guarantee you that I can do that right now that I can get
it through there and get it approved that quick.
Milholland: How much cost are you talking about?
Gibson: I don't know but I can call you with that.
Milholland: You don't have any ballpark figure per square foot or per lot or anything?
I'm just thinking of our budget to make sure we're not shooting way out of
our budget.
Gibson: Normally we'll use $10 per foot. That includes trench, labor, wire, that's
just a really rough number that we use. They have got a program to do a
30 month payback. If it will pay them back in 30 months where they can
start gaining revenue on it. Until they actually place electronics and
everything the full amount is unknown. There may not be an issue with it
but I just wanted to make you aware that there could be.
Milholland: If it comes to that point and there is going to be a cost, the men who are
involved in this are contractors, can they provide you the trench?
Technical Plat Review
April 15, 2004
Page 16
Gibson: Sure. To avoid the costs we could do that. We'll do whatever we can.
We don't like to do that and we normally don't but when you get a great
distance and small number of lots that is going to start being an issue. I
just wanted to make you aware that it is a possibility.
Milholland: While we're on this, if it comes up to where the costs are getting higher
and higher for all utilities, if they prefer to run a conduit all the way
around this thing with turn ups then you all can go anywhere you want to,
if it is reasonable for them to do that would you all do that for nothing?
Gibson: That would probably cut our costs by about 1/3 because we would still
have to come in and pull wire. It would make it cheaper.
Phipps: We're going to do it for half of what it costs. The construction that we
have to do is for trenching and putting conduit in for half the money. If
you can find someone to put it in for that cheap, you are not going to beat
my price trenching and laying conduit.
Milholland: One of the things we talked about, and I'm always for trying to improve
things, and if the cost were a little bit more money than if it would this
way. What they are doing is after you get a house built here and a house
built here and a house built over here and you end up with the grass
growing back here and it is all nice and pretty and then all of a sudden a
utility comes and digs in there and they mess it all up and they have to
redo it again. Do you all come back and clean up and put top soil back on
it and grass seed?
Phipps: Yes, if it is sod we put sod back down.
Gibson: We'll lay the sod back to do the digging.
Clouser: I see your point, it is nice to have it all there and we can go in whenever
we're ready.
Milholland: On this right here they are going to put top soil and seed it and hopefully
have it growing and looking nice so they can sell the lots. I didn't know if
you all came back and did that if you all messed it up.
Boles: We normally don't Mel in new subdivisions because normally the utility
easements are not seeded out. That's an abnormal application.
Phipps: Right. If I have to come back after it's in I would do something like that.
These easements I wouldn't seed those or do anything to those. I just
want them graded and level and we're all going through there and when
we're done then they can come in and do that. We are not going to go on
their timeline.

Milholland: I know that and they know that. I'm just looking for options to make the
overall project smoother. I understand right now we're just back to where
we were so that's fine.
Boles: My preference is for the easements to remain as they are until all of the
utilities are in. Ours will also be done on a rated return basis because they
allow 100' free per lot and then beyond that they calculate an annual
consumption based on square footage. We'll just have to see how it
comes out.
Gibson: I'm also going to add that we've got a couple of homes down here that we
can service right now and I'm going to add those to that. Instead of 10
we're going to have 12. Anything I can add to it I certainly will and that
will help as far as when the counters start looking at this.
Milholland: When you start going by cost you add these in the share? But they pay
their share?
Gibson: You bet. I don't even care if anybody is living in them or not, if there is a
home there I'm going to count it.
Clouser: There are not going to be any sidewalks in here is there?
Milholland: No.
Clouser: Can you just make sure that they extend the quad crossings into the utility
easements? Then if we have anything out there any relocation will be at
the owner/developer's expense.
Milholland: That north one is to the right of way and then the south one is also to the
right of way.
Clouser: I'd like the conduits extended so they reach into the utility easement or at
least touch it and in the entrance also. The way it's drawn it doesn't. I
would like to have it back into the subdivision along Gulley. Make sure
that they locate that crossing in the utility easement rather than in the right
of way. When we place our cable, if we come this away ever that we're in
the utility easement and that we don't have to go out into the right of way
and get into the conduit and come back into the utility easement. It should
be in line with the easement rather than in the right of way.
Milholland: This conduit is already down right here. This is the long term future
Master Street Plan width right here, 55'. This is way out in the woods
except for here where the power poles are. This is along the edge of that.
Do you all have any plans of changing this anytime?

Pate: Not at this time. It is still shown on the Master Street Plan.
Milholland: I saw on the traffic study that the city had done that it is not on the
proposed Master Street Plan. We'd like to put a sign and a wrought iron
fence, can we put that wrought iron fence 15' this way where it would be
out of the trees?
Pate: Talk to the county more about that. We don't have any regulations.
Milholland: This road is long term future.
Pate: It can't be in the right of way. It would have to be outside of the right of
way if that is what you are asking.
Milholland: This is long term 55' which is on the long term Master Street Plan.
Pate: It is dedicated by this plat as right of way.
Milholland: What I'm saying is can I go out here 10' or so and put a fence up?
Pate: No Sir, not in the right of way. It would have to be outside of the right of
way, we don't allow any structures in the right of way.
Milholland: It is going to be hard to see that back in the woods. There are trees
coming out of here right now.
Pate: If there is nothing else item number three, a Lot Split in the Meadowlands
we will hear next time because there is not anyone here to answer any
questions. We are adjourned.
