Mr. Kolstad and Mr. Stanley presented the Board with the final revisions

suggested by both the Engineer and the Planner have been included in this
design.

when utilities are available for the area. This print shows a future street
easement through the center of the lots. There was some discussion on the
possiblility of problems developing in the split of these lots.
Mr. Stanley said there would be deed restrictions as to where the buildings
could be located on the lots and he thought the street easements could be
_ — handled in somewhat the same manner.

that no structures could be erected on the street easement in order not to
block future proposed streets, with all set back requirements being observed.
