<br /> preserving the high point at the south tip of the site in its current state,
<br /> and grading within the center portion of the site to allow for future
<br /> functional development (possibly tennis court or hard court area), pond to
<br /> remain as marsh type area, and that possibility of a culvert in the north tip
<br /> be explored. Motion carried unanimously.
