replacing the improvements within the easement.

twenty feet wide centered on the water service.

Debbie and Dan Riser took the stand and they are representing the Samaritans Hill Church on the lot
next door. They are in favor of this being a daycare rather than something else and had a few
questions:

2. Wondering if people will be parking in the empty parking lot.
Brixius said they will not be parking in the empty parking lot.
3. Wondering if the lot will be grass and if the daycare will maintain and mow the lot.
Brixius informed that they will follow the landscape plan and that they will maintain the
lots that they own, and Samaritans Hill Church will need to maintain the lots that they own.
