Ms. Early stated Heron Bay Six backs up to the District's dike in the

the back of the homes and they want to sod the top of the
dike.
Ms. Archer asked are they going to irrigate it?
Mr. Craven responded no we are going to use bahia sod and that does not
need to be irrigated. The hedge
will be irrigated from the yard side.

this dike to irrigate the hedge.

have a voluntary annexation procedure that any property owner join in the
annexation. It is appropriate for
