Mr. Romans indicated they had received some comments from the Town Engineer with regards to the preliminary grading plans. Currently on the map there is a storm sewer line west of the Town of Clay line. The location noted as P1 is an historical to be avoided.

The Chairman opened the hearing to the public.
Mr. Steve Fleury, a resident of the area for 19 years, had a concern about a buffer between his property and twelve of the lots it backs up to. He also wanted to be sure his property was still zoned for agricultural, because of his animals.
