development is planned for that lot.
The Public Works requirements were discussed. Bob Turner,

associated with this property were discussed. Mr. Turner

After the discussion, the Committee forwarded the

to staff on November 22, 2000. The revised plat addresses

sewer easement have been noted on the plat. The applicant
has also shown driveway locations on the plat. A shared
drive between lots 1 and 2 has been shown, as required by

drawing with the following additional notations:
