Dave Dirby - Mr. Dirby wasn't aware that Ryder Homes was involved in the project. He has
attended all public meetings in regards to the Yarberry Project. Mr. Dirby's main concern is that
there are two story homes on lots 11 and 12. He is concerned with Noise and concerned that
the existing retaining wall is failing. He suggests making the proposed fence a sound wall
instead.
