Attached is the grading plan for Riverwood National. The hatched areas
show what we understood at the time to be the finished turf grass of the
fairways and the rest would be kept natural. The grasses can exceed 8
inches but can't include noxious weeds.
I went through the neighborhood today and the Golf Course has addressed the boulevard
grass and mowed areas beyond, I assume to knock down noxious
weeds. There were 2-3 lots that we will take measurement of and
coordinate with the mowing contractor to get cut.
