Herr presented sketches of the proposed development. Doug Dindorf, 2901 Oakwood Drive, asked what assurance there is against the developer putting up another building at a later date, and how the limited access road will remain for limited access. Mr. Herr replied that the common area will be owned by the 32 home owners and cannot be taken back, and becomes part of the plat. He added the utility easement will be provided to the City.
