The subject property (895 Tonkawa Road) and the adjacent property at <br />875 Tonkawa Road are owned by the Lahrs. Their new home is under construction on 875 Tonkawa Rd.

Another <br />berm is proposed along Tonkawa Road to provide privacy and sound screening. <br /> <br />The soil is currently stockpiled and rough graded, awaiting final grading.
