iv. 27500 La Vida Real (lands of Malavalli.) The Committee agreed to extend

exceed 15% and so there will be an adequate crossing of the creek.
Dunckel moved, Stutz seconded. Unanimous

the committee aired their views, but no action could be taken until the next
meeting, when it will be the first item of New Business. Schreiner reminded the
Committee to look at the fencing ordinance in preparation.
