• • Hailey Manor page 3 and the feasibility of sanitary sewer and water provision. Staff recommended that the property owners get together to determine how best to plat their properties as one action. The new subdivision and zoning ordinances were adopted in 2003. Meanwhile, Lois Lane residents had contacted potential developers. Several property owners entered came to agreement with Mr. Feela to plat their properties.
