A trail easement has been extended through Block 4, Lot 18 to accommodate an east - west trail connection from Keithson Drive to the north -south trail to the east. 2. Block 1, Lot 10 has been further subdivided to create two outlots. The 50 -foot wide "stovepipe" portion will no longer be included as part of Block 1, Lot 10. 3. The lot frontages of Block 1, Lot 3, and Block 4, Lots 9 and 10 have been widened to a minimum of 105 feet. 4. The right of way adjacent to Block 1, Lots 10 and 11, has been squared off to bring the lot frontage on both lots to a minimum of 95 feet.
