Mr. White presented an amended plan which modified the previous preliminary plat submitted at the last meeting.

Mr. White also pointed out several areas on the plat which will be utilized for purposes of stormwater detention. Mr. White felt that the on -site detention will answer the concerns of the neighborhood relative to additional runoff from this development.
