DISCUSSION/STAKEHOLDERS
On August 8th, staff presented a brief presentation on the proposed subdivision to the Planning Board. Board President Darrell Tunnicliff asked if there were any questions from the Board. A question was raised about ownership of the ditches along the east side of 48th Street West. Staff responded that it is believed one ditch is owned by a ditch company and the other ditches are drainage ditches for the area. There was no further discussion from the Board, the applicant or agent.
