Commissioner Bertrand expressed that he would like to see the SUP amended so
that the streetlights within the subdivision are maintained by the Home Owners
Association (HOA). The Commission felt this clarity within the Specific Use
Permit would eliminate confusion in the future as to the responsible party should
the lighting fixtures need repair or maintenance. The Commission also verified
that a new plat would be required and that the maintenance of the streets would be·
the responsibility of the HOA.
