and preliminary plat for this site were approve in August of 2006 by the

serve the Gatewoods 3` Plat have now been constructed. The developer
is in the process of completing construction plans for the next phase of

creek was and weather it would require stabilization

stabilization would most likely not be required.

retaining walls in that area, but that will be on a case by case basis.
