Mr. Taylor indicated that 25 acres was being dedicated for park land. It was indicated that UPA had a power easement running north and south of the plat and the biggest concern is that no one builds within that easement. It was in- dicated that UPA submitted a letter with certain requests in regards to Deerfield Second Subdivision. These requests were discussed and it was the consensus that a copy of the letter from UPA should be stapled to the plat so that when people come in for building permits, they will be made aware of the requirements. Rick Breezee indicated that the Park Superintendent, Phil Hals, was requesting that an 8 foot strip of land be built up two feet higher around the pond area located to the East of Lots 5, 6, 7 and 8 of Block 4 so that equipment can be brought in and also so that it can be walked on and a nature trail made. A letter submitted to Rick Breezee from Consulting Engineers Diversified regarding the plat was discussed. Chairman Tralle opened the public hearing.
