For the purpose of closing on a construction loan the builder indicated that the revised building sites needed to be shown on the plat. Mr. Eberhart discussed the Dove Road and Autumn Drive drainage situation briefly and advised that the City Staff recommends approval of the replat; and since it is a one - owner, one -lot subdivision, no public hearing is required.
