are opposed to rezoning the lots which were originally a part of Stage Coach Run. They do not have an opinion on the other lots. Geof Gledhill mentioned that if the lots are a part of the subdivision, the restrictions apply unless changed by the Homeowners Association. Arthur Cogswell, the project planner, stated that the density of development for these lots is not an issue for them. They have not formulated plan at this time, however, they intend to work with the community. They will be in communication when they do develop a plan. Mr. Charles Davis stated that the lots in question were originally sold to Center Point and were reclaimed by him when Center Point went bankrupt. He did not want to take them back but did not have a choice. The lots were eliminated from Center Points plan in the 1980s. The County Tax Maps do not show these lots as a part of Stage Coach Run. He also mentioned that the lots are not subdivided and are, in fact, one tract. Mary Willis stated that there was originally an area that extended to where those lots were platted. However, a large area was recombined and put back into one tract.
