Pam Blake said that the perk test and survey came back amazing. There is a flood zone there but there is a buildable spot that is high enough.
Erickson: The burden is the flood plain and also the river. They have more than enough frontage, and the wells in that area are very good. It is just short of acreage. The river divides the property as well. She went to EGLE and they invited Erickson to walk the property.
