Mr. Slocum stated that he also represents Mr. Sanford and he is aware that this request will have no negative impact on Home Place Farms or the golf course. Mr. Slocum also clarified that the entrance into the development would be at the half-way point of Redfield Road and that there would be a total of 3 access points to this particular area.
