Has a problem with some of the lots on that street due to the high water table. These lots are zoned as R1. Mr. Doyle said one consideration is to retain the density but to construct homes such as a townhouse complex leaving some of the land open. Mr. Doyle pointed out that 4 of the lots are unbuildable according to the DNR and Corps of Engineers. John Tobish - owns at 6192 Hodgson Road - z mile North of Co. Road J.
