Gronberg indicated the siblings looked at subdividing the property after <br /> their father died. They did look at getting a fourth lot in there but that would require extending the cul- <br /> de-sac quite a:ways and would also impact wetland buffer.

'�� <br /> Crronberg indicated the road follows the driveway as much as possible and they pulled the storm water . <br /> � pond away from the trees as much as possible to preserve those. The trees on the north side will remain <br /> intact so the residents in Abingdon will not see much of this subdivision. In addition, all the trees along <br /> Willow Drive that are west of the e�cisting house will also remain. The residents in the area will only see <br /> the opening for the new road. Gronberg noted they have to put a city street in since there are three lots on <br /> the road. Everything is concentrated in the middle of the subdivision and they are attempting to save all <br /> the perimeter trees. <br /> Thiesse asked what type of trees will be removed due to the storm water pond. <br /> Crronberg stated there are some ash and some black walnut trees that will need to be removed.
