Homes placed within the flood zone? Where is Meridian Overlay boundary on the property? Potential access to Lot 4 if combined with another project No irrigation using City Water or possible self contained irrigation using recycled water on site? Map should show where the US 31 Corridor line is located Committee to explore commitment from petitioner as to one single family unit per lot in perpetuity Response, Justin Moffitt: City Engineering uses a formula based on number of foot frontage; property frontage is broken —City may do a project in coming years and maybe use the funds to improve the entire side of the street. Lots 2 and 3, the homes are placed out of the flood zone; Lot #1, placement shown is where we believe we can build once the map is revised. Until the FEMA map is revised, would not build on Lot #1. The Meridian Overlay slices through Lot 4 —yes, there could be access if combined with another project Docket No. 09110035 PP, Reading Tree Park Primary Plat was referred to Subdivision Committee for further review on Tuesday, February 02, 2010. 8.
