• At the 24 October 2023 Council Meeting Agenda Item 8 and the 17 October 2023 P&Z Commission Meeting, Agenda Item 2, a few insignificant changes were made by HistoryMaker and approved by the council.
• Final plat was not filed in Feb 2023 because of the sale of the development from Red Rivers Development to HistoryMaker Homes; the council approved the new final plat for Historymaker, and when filed with the county, building will start on schedule early 2024.
• The total number of lots increased from 101 to 102. The number of lots for residential houses remains at 98, but there is an additional HOA community property lot, for a total of 4 community property lots; they include two lots for two drainage retention ponds at the south of the development, and two lots at the entrance of the development for the entry sign and now for the wall next to the entry sign.
