E. SPECIAL ORDERS: Discussion began about the requirements for cuts on Moody Springs Court, and the City Engineer read condition 4 of the check list which provided the Town's guidelines and regulations.

The Council indicated that the main area of concern was the existing structures on the property. The City Engineer read the conditions of the Planning Commission regarding these structures. Mr. Murl Fritschle, representing the Developer said there were a few exceptions the Developer wished to take to the Planning Commission list of requirements. The one exception was to the two year restriction on the destruction of the existing structures. He said the present owner of Lot 1 was living in one of the buildings and would like to continue to do so until his permanent home is built, which would probably be longer than the two years. Speaking from the Floor: Mr. Ste hen Drews 24641 Mood Road: Stated that he was the occupant of t e Fuse re erre o, an tat ne was attempting to buy the lot as soon as the property was subdivided and approved.
