HEARING OF VISITORS:

The Trustees stated that the property has not been re-zoned and if a request for rezoning is received, all property owners within a 500 foot radius would be notified of the public hearing on the matter.  Mr. Hardbarger was also concerned about how the water would flow from his property now that 14140 has been graded.  Mr. DeFelice stated that the direction of the flow of water cannot be changed, and asked Zoning Inspector Doug Czako to check out this property.
