Then, the topsoil will be replaced, reshaped, and seeded with hydro-mulch by the end of next week. Some areas will be regraded, and some residents will have new driveways put in. 

Odden discussed tree removal. A resident asked if his shade trees being removed would be replaced. Not everyone wanted them replaced and they discussed paying cash or purchasing a replacement tree. Approved to replace the physical tree up to $150. Nick Scholer and Brad Cottrell opposed it. Odden will leave a list of the property owners of the trees that had to be removed.
