HOFMANN REPLIED THAT THEY WILL HAVE A LOT OF RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS. HE FURTHER STATED THAT THEY WILL BE PLANTING QUITE A NUMBER OF TREES ON THE PROPERTY AND HEDGES. ON THE PERIMETER TO CLOSE IT OFF FROM THE ROAD. COMMISSIONER WODTKE ASKED IF THERE REALLY IS AN OPTION ON HOW TO PAY THE TAX. ATTORNEY HENDERSON STATED THAT THE KEY IS THE PERMANENT FOUNDA- TION AND THE REMOVAL OF WHEELS. WHEN THIS IS DONE, THE OPTION IS NOT AVAILABLE AS IT BECOMES A REGULAR SUBDIVISION, THIS DOES NOT APPLY IN A RENTAL PARK.
