Aaron Road Subdivision — Release of Covenant and Release of Lot: Since the Board issued its special decision December 17, 2003 with regard to the lot release request for the Aaron Road Subdivision the following actions have occurred to address the deficiencies: • Both lot owners now share responsibility for the maintenance for the drainage system and the road improvement as outlined in the January 23, 2004 agreement between Margaret Barons, Trustee of Aaron Road Realty Trust and John Connors. • Trustee's Certificate recorded for Aaron Road Realty Trust. • As -built plan, dated 12/4/03 and revised 1120104, submitted that shows the transformers moved out of the easements. As a result of these actions, there appears to be no reason to retain the covenant over Lot 1 and the lot can be released for sale as requested.
