Mr. Fogle stated that staff had concerns about the property outlined in red on the map that was displayed, which was the tract of land that staff wanted to give access to at some point. He stated that the property is owned by the same person that owns the majority of the property between Highway 6 and Wellborn Road south of the area. He stated that one difference was that part of Peach Creek ran through the area and for that property to be connected to the rest of the property that a bridge would have to be built over Peach Creek. He went on to say that staff wanted to see connection through Indian Lakes onto the property. He also stated that staff had spoken to the developer about providing the connection as part of Phase X.
