and November 10, 1981 were received from Town Engineer/Planner Widmer
and read into the record. Mr. Van Horn indicated the owners would
comply with all items as indicated in the Town Engineer/Planner s
letter dated October 12, 1981. Both Mr. Van Horn and Mr. Dohrn ex
pressed their views that the developers should not be required to
the extra costs of annexing Devon Drive leading into the proposed ad
dition. A letter dated October 7, 1981 was received from the Town
Attorney and was also read into the record. Mr. Van Horn indicated
they have already complied with this letter.
After considerable discussion regarding the improvement and annexation
of Devon Drive, it was the opinion of the developers that they would
provide the improvements (paving) but did not wish to be responsible
for the annexation costs if it involved more than a simple addition
to the proposed plat. They also indicated that if Mr. McCord would
include his one-foot strip of land adjacent to Devon Drive in the
annexation they would be in agreement to add this—to—the plat^----------------
Member Meusel moved the annexation plat be favorably recommended to
the Board of Trustees with a condition that the four items listed in
