Mr. Ash reminded the board that the main problem with approval of this final plat had been concern over the drainage problem in the area. Mr. Peters of CNB, the Director of Public Services and Mr. Ash met together and an alter.native plan was established which will address the issue. The bank will construct a roadway on the south side of Lot 2 for 'city access to the drainage ditch. Commissioner Gardner asked if this means that in future situations the city will take the responsibility for the maintenance of areas such as this. Mr. Ash stated the city is not accepting any responsibility it does not already have and the Director of Public Services has agreed with this plan. Mr. Mayo stated it is not the owner's responsibility to even furnish the roadway for access of city equipment into the area for maintenance, but the bank is doing this at its own expense for the benefit of the city. Mr. Ash further stated that in doing so, the problem involved with the apartm~nts located immediately behind the area was also being addressed.
