Is that correct Warren?

10:49:40 AM County Planner Warren Vaughan Staff report, noted a correction that the landowner is not Ron Page but AIM, Inc., suggests under Staff Condition #4, "The subdivider shall have the RAE Fire District (RFD) review and approve the fire protection method...." to strike the words "and approve," and Condition #12 regarding the waiver of right to protest, should include "...for Love Lane."
