The detention areas are being used to meet the requirements of the Drainage District. Also K-Mart has certain parking requirements which means there is only one parking lot to spare. The 10' utility easement and the sanitary sewer will be used as part of the landscape. Item #5 - There were two title certificates that originally were submitted.
