Mr. Meyers noted a change will be made on the site plan indicating that rip rap would be added at the final 50 feet of the grass swale. Motion by John Kaufman, seconded by Lawrence Gomez to accept Application #01-2000, Meyers Associates, P. C. Unanimous. The Commissioners considered the application to be for one regulated activity and application fees were paid accordingly.
