However, consistent with the creation of new residential lots, I recommend that prior to approval of the creation of any residue lot, the locations of existing well(s), existing drainfield area, and reserve drainfield area be identified and added to the plat. Lot is served by public water. Drain field information is being prepared by the soil engineer and will be submitted under separate cover. We trust the above adequately addresses your comments. Please let me know if you have any questions or require additional information. Sincerely, • Bethany Velasquez Y t4 rt w r i^V ty
