I’m a bit confused.

I know that they raised the level of the lots (and the future CyTown), to put it above the flood plain. I figure the contractor who did it reasonably knew what they were doing, and had the entire area flat and at the same level, as the lots went in.

So…why have they been peeling soil off the (soon to be) MacFarland lot, and trucking it away? This isn’t the first time, either.

Seems counterproductive—and not just having that one lot at a lower level.

They do seem to be preparing it for paving now, as well.

Probably put more on to let it compact over the winter and are now bringing it to the designed elevation.
