" He noted he will use a slope easement if he can get it from the abutters and if not :it will be a retaining walla He noted that on Lot 28 he has redone the calculations which show that with the swamp filled and the ponding area the lot will still have the required amount of square feet of buildable area.

He noted that Shell has an easement, but he owns the property.
