That the Board take the following action concerning recording Brookhaven Phase 2 (a 28-lot residential subdivision), located in the Pine Forest Community, lying west of County Road 97 and north of Devine Farm Road. Brookhaven Phase 2 is owned by Devine Farms, LLC and developed by SNS Realty, Inc.

A. Approve the subdivision plat for recording in the Public Records;

B. Approve the street name “Shortleaf Court”;
