Preliminary Plat of Tenth Addition to Lake Geneva Estates.  Scott Thompson, applicant.  Beisner Ltd. Co., owner.  Property is located along Geneva Golf Club Drive NE.  Sect – 15 Twp – 128 Range – 37, FIFTH ADDITION TO LAKE GENEVA ESTATES, OUTLOT D AC 1.98.  Parcel ID:  03-1308-665.

Proposed Amendments to the Alexandria Township Subdivision Ordinance and to the Zoning Ordinance, Section V.
