Mr. Boss, developer, presented the plat explaining that there would be approximately 25 sublots on which homes would be built. In response to Mr. Thomas' question, City Engineer Deiehmann advised that approving the 850 foot long cul-de-sac would be up to city council but this is not an unusual configuration. He also stated that this area might contain some wetlands, and if it does, the developer should follow the procedures mandated by the Army Corp. of Engi.neers and the E. P.A. Si:nce some of these regul.ations were in conflict with the city's normal regulations, the city's ordinance have been revised so that when when such a conflict occurs, the city must defer to the higher authority.
