Carmel, 5th section. 1) No sideualks shown, although the entire subdivision has no sidewalks.. 2) What happens to Village Drive East? If it is dead-end, then recommend a paved cul-de-sac. 3) Question the need for limiting the drive-ways on lots 129 & 135.. Entrances should be made onto Angela Lane. 4) 10' easement abutting Village of Mt. Carmel 1 s:b section. Is this sufficient? Ordinance requires 12' i 5) Culvert Pipes: a. Request elevations be established for road cll.lverp pipes on each drive-way (recommend metal end sections or head walls). b. Construe tion de tails of culvert pipe at intersec tion of Angela Lane and Oak Ridge Road - recommend head walls. Also Angela Lane & Village Dr. East. 6) Utilites to be reviewed by local utility companies, such as electric, gas, telephone & etc. 7) No bonds have been submitted! 8) Propose recommendation set forth by Tom Schellenberger that drainage plans of tile & roadside ditches be reviewed and accepted by the Hamilton County Hwy.

EXPLANATION OF THE SOIL MAP (for non-agricultural uses) Your land is the foundation of your conservation plan. Plan it within its limitations and treat it according to its needs. The Soil Conservation Service and your Soil and Water Conservation District will help you use this information to develop a conservation plan for your land. The soil map shows important facts about your land. This information should help you decide on the land use and treatment needs. Degree of Limitations ~light j Relatively free of limitations or with limitations that are easy to overcome. moderate Limitations need to be ~ecognized; can be overcome with correct planning, proper treatment and good management. !tX~.I- ~^'~~J Limitations are severe enough to make use questionable; careful planning, proper treatment and above average management are needed. Extreme measures are needed to overcome limitations; usage is generally not practical. Mapping Symbol and Soil Series I3r (!>r JT)rn Land Use 4....Je 4,t-f;'~ ~ l.. ~r I" . "..
