4. [32.5.2 (o) and ZMA201500007] Prior to final site plan approval, please be sure to update the Block Area
Summary table on Sheet 3 so that all figures are accurate based on approvals for other blocks in Brookhill. Some
of the figures may change since multiple site plans and plats are under review for other blocks. These may be
approved prior to final site plan approval for Blocks 16 & 17.
a. Please revise the table so that it states the acreages of each attribute that were approved on the
plats/plans for Blocks 16, 17, 18 and Block 1B.
