There was some discussion about the possible extension of this street to tie into Sheryl Avenue but Ervan Wimberly and Claude Prewitt felt they would not do this. Ervan Wimberly said they may extend the drive another 300 to 400 feet or they may leave it as is. Bobbie Jones said she is still concerned about having a private drive. She said the properties which are not shown in the Planned Unit Development would not:be able to use this private drive for frontage to meet the City zoning regulations not to get lot splits.
