A road, 16"' Street, was stubbed off from Parkview to his property.

Based on the foregoing, the manner in which the developer proposes to process this project is to replat portions of the Outlet into buildable lots/blocks as specific site plans for tenants are approved. The first Development Agreement becomes a master, the terms of which apply to the entire plat, whether now as lots/blocks or as outlots.
