for additional park facilities; 6) no additional park cost for acquisition of
the site; 7) close to city center; 8) water and sewer available; 9) with proper
planning, main drive access will be located without thru-street in residential

Bloanberg; 3) What tyPe of road design to the developnent?; 4) Screening and
possible erosion problems.

I;X)sal for land trade and relocation of the boat landing to the south property.
