exactly where everything stands. It was also noted that there still has to be an easement if there is any work to the drain itself. They are looking at options with fencing and access.
Ms. Giles opened up the meeting for public comments.
Resident Edward Kennedy recommended a revision by a civil engineer to relabel the area as a tract instead of an upland buffer to try and save a lot of money and a lot of headache refencing and reaggravating the customers that paid on the premium lots that they don’t have access to use on the property.
Resident Bob Niles requested a copy of the original plans because his understanding is that the original plans made provisions for access to the pond. The response was that he could probably find the plans at public records.

He also asked about the food trucks because he doesn’t see them anymore.
