A new Plan was presented that removed that word "unbuildable" on Lot #4 of the approved Plan, and the new Plan reflects the change. Escrow was posted in the amount of $19o,000.00 on Jay Bullen's behalf, and there is also a Tri -Party Agreement with the Bank of Canton in the amount of $19o,000.00, so there is more than an adequate amount of bond for the completion of the subdivision.
