letter
dated January 6, 2004 on Phase III to Moosa and he does make similar commen=

to the comments he made in Phase II.
He also made some requests concerning the geometry of the swale along
Guernseytown Road, he requested some information on the discharge of the
drainage from Judd Pond and we were unable to get that information. We have snow piled onto the soil a=

there’s simply no way we can accurately get the information he reques=
