Rick Murray, Residential Development, stated that the life estate goes to Mrs. Scroggins. They intend to remodel, reside, pave, etc. It will look modernized but will maintain its charm. There will be a buffer plus all owners will be notified of the home. John Bertleson, John Oliver & Associates, showed the road connection and stated that projecting the street straight through presents a problem with the life estate. The slopes are at a height of elevation to make it difficult to go out to the street.

The Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on the wording and are recommending enactment of the proposed ordinance. The current ordinance states that structures must be set back 110 feet from centerline of roadway or 50 feet from property line, whichever is greater.
