EXISTING CONDITIONS Slopes in this area are about 20%. It is heavily wooded. All utilities and street access will be made available as approved in previous versions of Marlowe Manor. B. DEVELOPMENT PROPOSALS The extension of Morrison Court is proposed to serve an area previously approved as the backs of very deep lots fronting on Morrison Drive. It abuts the south plat boundary and would provide access to adjacent property not now owned by the developers.
