Mr. Vollintine stated the property was being platted into three separate tracts, the first two would be built on shortly and the third sat on top of the hill and the western boundary was totally surrounded by Hilltop apartments. Mr. Vollintine stated the first engineering letter pertained to fire protection and they had agreed to that. Mr. Vollintine stated that part of the water line was already being looped from Hilltop Drive to Browning Drive so the water would be serviced in a total loop and they did not feel that the extension of the line would serve any real useful purpose because of the inability to loop it at the present time.
