The first public hearing was to hear input from the public regarding the applicants request for a final plat of Meridiana Cumulus Drive Phase One and a partial replat of Lulling Stone Section 3, a subdivision of 2.135 acres. The reason for the replat is to dedicate right of way.
The second public hearing was to hear input from the public regarding the applicant’s request for a final plat of Meridiana Section 29 and a partial replat of Lulling Stone Section 3 being a subdivision of 9.225 acres. The reason for the replat is to create 15 lots, one block and four reserves.
