ABSTRACT

Action Requested:
Request by Lewis Metty Development, Inc. for subdivision Revised Preliminary/Final Plat approval of Cedar Mountain, Phase 3A, consisting of 16 lots on 30.79 acres located off Jones Ferry Rd, SR-1540 and Cedar Grove/Cedar Mountain Road, Baldwin Township, parcels #'s 1611 and 1721.

The conditions above will be completed when the next phase of the subdivision is presented for review and approval.
