The attached letter from Seanette and Ernest Auerbach to Councilman Watson suggests that the
City contact Presley Hatcher at the Army Corps of Eagineers for comment on this subdivision
design proposal. At yesterday's DRC meeting, Jim Witt directed staff to follow up on that
suggestion. Since you have a working relationship with the Corps, would your department
please take responsibility for making that contact?
