The Subdivision Committee gave its report. Mr. Shreve moved that the Planning Commission recommend to the City Council that Mr. Hugh Dills proposed street off West Center Street not be considered as a regular street because of its extremely short length and any extension or con- nection with another street is not probable and thatthis proposed street be accepted as a dedicated 40 -foot street with a 37.5 foot radius turn around and that 30 feet be curbed, guttered and black topped. The motion was seconded by Mr. Dalton and passed unanimously. 40 Mr. Shreve moved that the drawing submitted by Mr. Hugh Dill be considered as a preliminary plat and that he proceed and prepare his final plat. The motion was seconded by Mr. Walker and passed unanimously. - Mr. Shreve moved that Mr. Ralph Stubblefield's preliminary plat be accepted and 'suggested that the turn arounds be eliminated in the preliminary plat and that dead end streets be shown because in his subdivision the extension of the streets ending in turn arounds serve no lots not already served by streets themselves. The motion was seconded by Mr. Walker and passed unanimously. Mr. Don Pitts appeared before the Planning Commission to request permission to build on several lots in his proposed Debra Acres Subdivision.

The motion was seconded by Mr. Stubblefield and passed unanimously. Mr. Shreve moved that Mr. Ralph Brophy be given building permits as he needs them on lots 1 through 7 of Block 1 and lots 1 through 7 of Block 2 provided that he puts in utility easements running north and south at the rear of the lots in Block 1 and 2 and that he then proceed with the regular preliminary plat.
