The Fire Marshal noted that because Parcel 'A' is being developed first,
there must be two access points to the building.
It also should be noted that Feltl is spelled wrong on the preliminary
plat, it should be changed prior to the final plat.
The Assistant City Engineer has noted there should be sewer easement in
the southwest corner of the site also if it is the desire of the appli-
cants to have the City maintain the water and sewer on the site, ease-
ments will have to be shown on the plat.

Both lots will comply with the minimum requirements for an R -6 district.
