a lot at the northeast corner of Devon Avenue and Nerge Road. This lot was set
aside until the Board reached a decision as to whether the Nerge Road-Devon

ruled that a T intersection is required, however, it was the consensus that this
provision remain as written in the agreement should circumstances develop which
would prove the T intersection to be unworkable.
