itional commercial property for a small group of people. He reported that that he had
observed the water run-off on Monday night and found that storm water did not reach the
bottom of the culvert underneath Evergreen Rd. and that the culvert had been damaged
some years ago by the telephone company. He explained that he could tile his property

system soil requirement but that the southerly parcel would only have 1.86 acres of contig-

ment that State noise level regulations, at lot lines, can be met and that subdivision of
