for homesite development is shrink -swell potential, which may
require engineered foundations and individual sewage disposal
systems.
2. The existing domestic well to be used as a source of domestic
water for the proposed lots will need to have a legally described
access and repair easement at least 10 feet square around the
well and then waterline access and repair easements to each lot
from the well, shown on the plat.
