Retirement Center asked for a waiver of curb and gutter based on
drainage issue. Curb and gutter normally drains the project and Mr.
Chamy thinks that the drainage is adequate because there is a ditch to
the west of the property that should handle the drainage from the
apartments. Mr. Chamy stated that he would take care of the right -of-
way with hydro mulching and plants if curb and gutter requirement is
waived.
Ed Vaughn, architect for Mr. Chamy, presented a sketch of the
proposed landscaping of the project. Mr. Vaughn stated that the
