on building in eastern PKS, imposed on July 12th, was again the subject of the Board’s
consideration. Colonel Dennison, of the Von Oesen Company, reported on his CompsLny*s

COMMISSIONERS moratorium from the areas Dennison had indicated. However, the mora-
torium still applies to the areas marked on the map attached to the Von
Oesen letter that Col, Dennison submitted to the Board. In general, the
moratorium still applies to some 21 lots lying between the canal and Jiiniper Road and

Country Club and to the areas surrounding the two cul-de-sacs on the north side of Saltl^
Path Road just east of Juniper, Finally, it includes a tract at the eastern terminus of
Cypress Drive, The proposed Schrum-Taylor development is no longer included in the area
subject to the moratorium.
