Coffee received $100 from the <br />County Highway Department for the sale of an easement for the adjacent <br />County Road 19 involving Tract G of RLS #1216. The relinquishing of <br />this additional dry land area created more of an impact on the <br />buildable envelope of this tract. <br />Page 2 of 9
