Mr. Al Lentz, Lentz Engineering was present.
City Engineer John Hargrove questioned Mr. Lentz with regard.to the 10' utility easement along

U.E., as well as existing utilities need to be shown on the plat.

grading and drainage on boundary lots shown as type "A" grading could lead to a trespass and is
not leaving sufficient room on the perimeter to leave drainage swales.

been addressed on the plat.
