Brad: Was the 15' landscape easement a voluntary agreement between the Gallagher's and the two lot purchasers or was
it recommended by Staff?Alexia Lopez: The owner and buyers privately agreed to this.
Brad: The emails that were circulated this afternoon had conflicting information on the lot lines. Is the 0.21-acre lot(lot

involved in the transaction of the subject half-acre. The Gallagher's sold the half-acre parcel, but still retain their property
