Therefore, he did not <br /> agree with the condition for a public pedestrian <br /> easement. He noted there was only one island and <br /> this became an " island" only in rainy weather as <br /> the branches around the " island" were simply <br /> drainage ditches. <br /> Collins noted that if the land is taken out of the <br /> island, the two-acre minimum lot size requirement <br /> cannot be met.
