Subject Fw: Shadow lots
From this (below), it sounds like this covenant is not going to get resolved today. I don't know exactly
what Seana has said, but the reference to Story County in the document,that Marcus refers to below, is
there, I think, because we were uncomfortable without it.
THANKS!

` Subject RE: Shadow lots
With the way the Covenant is currently written, we believe our County Attorney would need to
review the document. The Covenant seems to place certain responsibilities and/or liabilities on
the County that we were not prepared to accept. I told Seana on Friday that our office couldn't
sign off on it, as is. The language referring to the County either needs to be removed or our
County Attorney's office will have to take the time to examine the document.

No, Nacin submitted a Final Plat showing four lots being platted now, one of which has a conservation
area on it, subject to a restrictive covenant.
Have you approved the covenant document? If you approve the covenant, we are to contact Bob
Goodwin so that he can deliver the signed documents to our City Clerk.
If he can do this before noon tomorrow, it will be acted on by City Council tomorrow night.
