He ex- plained that he intends to keep this wooded area as a buffer from the hYgh:aay. He stated that during the title search it was discovered that there was an abandoned sewer easement (acquired in 1965) on the property and he would like to have this vacated at this time.

Assistant. Law Director Dubelko advised that the Commission should get copies of codes from other communities who have developed small parcels in this manner and.
