She said General Kendall came by her office and said the County Planning Board had approved both of the plats outside the City as drawn. Mrs. Crocker asked if allof the lots would have City water. Mr. Blew said all lotshave City water except Lots 6 and 7. They don't want to put a 2 -inch water line in at this time, they want to construct a bigger line later. She wanted to know why they put Lots 6 and 7 in the subdivision if they don't have water. Mr...Kisor asked if their intentions are to put in water before they build'on Lots 6 and 7. Mr. Blew stated that Mr. Pond had this land and he wanted to include it all in a subdivision so it would be under the protective covenants. Mrs. Crocker stated water was more important than the protective covenants. Mr. Kisor pointed out to Mr. Blew that the Subdivision Committee didn't want both a septic tank and a well on a lot. Mrs. Crocker pointed out that there was a typing error in Section 8 of the covenants.

The developer will be required to construct a 31 ft. wide street (back -of -curb to back - of -curb) to the East radius of Bryan Road. He said he would check with the Board of Directors on November 20 to see if they want a 31 ft. wide or a 36 ft. wide street. If If they want a 36 ft. wide street the City will pay the additional cost. Mr. Grimes recommended that no lot splits will be approved by the Planning Administrator which create lots facing this new street unless the owner of that property to the North con- structs the rest of the street to the East property line. Mr. Kisor pointed out that this was in line with what Union Special planned. Mr. Mayes asked if he could construct an access parallel to the new street. Mr. Grimes said he could construct a driveway off Garland Avenue as long as the property re- mained a single lot. Mr. Mayes asked how close the street (pavement) will come to his property. Mr. Grimes said approximately 9 ft. Mrs. Jones asked about the 10 ft. wide strips on the East and South side of the Subdivision. It has been used as a gravel access by the Thomases since about the '50's. She pointed out that this Subdivision will show them as alleys on the plat. Mr. Kisor moved to approve the preliminary plat of Union Special Subdivision with these 8 contingencies: 1. The scale be 1" to 100' on the final plat; 2. Extend the sidewalks in front of the existing duplex;] 3. Put a street light on the NW corner of Lot 2; 4. Waive the street light spacing on Bryan Road and the new arterial street as shown; 5. Designate the 10 ft. on the East and South side of the Subdivision as alleys since the Evin's Farm plat is not clear; 6. The arterial street will have to be renamed on the final plat from Elm Street to a name which does not conflict with any other.; 7. The developer will dedicate a right-of-way along the North side of the entire Subdivision of 54 ft. and there will be a 31 ft. or 36 ft. street to be con' structed to the East radius of Bryan Road. If a 36 ft. wide street is required the City will participate with the developer by paying the additional cost in excess of the cost of a 31 ft. wide street; 8. There is to be no split of property to the North of this street unless the owner constructs the street to the East property line. Mrs. Crocker seconded it, which passed 4-0.
