The current path is disjointed with paths and sidewalks that are not connected. 4. Scott Marral 5046 Red Oak Drive: There is a slope on both sides of his drive, when and how would that be handled? Nick: That would be handled in the design phase. There would not be a retaining wall if possible, maybe a berm to keep the water on the boulevard. Scott had particular questions about how that would be handled. Nick said they would work with the property owner to implement the homeowner needs. There may be a few between Red Oak and Sunnyside that may need to be built up to control storm water runoff. Nick suggested they look at Edgewood drive north of Woodcrest to see actually how those are handled. 5. Dan 5046 Eastwood Road: Has a privacy fence. W ould damage be paid for from plowing?
