There will be dirt created off the sites which will result in nicer house pads and lot sites. Further, Mr. Black explained the Army Corp of Engineers requested 100% clearance ofIndian Burial Grounds. Currently the land is cleared 98%, because of a quarter sized piece of pottery which dated back 2000 years ago. Additionally, the archeologist will be out on April 24, to determine if this will be a registered historical site. Mr. Black explained they have received approval but the permit won't be issued until this issue is resolved. Mr. Nyberg briefed the Council on the updates; The drainage swales were checked to make sure they are not in the easements. MSA has checked on the restricted south house pads sites since they are smaller. The owners may be restricted to deck permits.
