Ms. Early stated Heron Bay Six backs up to the District's dike in the west and WCI is requesting to put a hedge on the face of the dike which is in the back of the homes and they want to sod the top of the dike.

Ms. Archer asked are they going to irrigate it?

Mr. Craven responded no we are going to use bahia sod and that does not need to be irrigated. The hedge will be irrigated from the yard side.
