Bob Werner of the Ocean Shores Development Corporaton stated Tract M, N and B are not really beng re-coned as they were always ntended to be reserved for publc utltes and smlar uses and t can't be helped what some salesman sad. Mr. James Jordan called attenton to the followng errors and/or omssons: Secton defnton of "Court" omtted. Secton use a sem-colon at the end of the fourth sentence.

Cty Manager Ford answered you should use the Cty Comprehensve Street Flan whch would desgnate whch street s ntended to carry the heaver traffc flow.
