EARLE BULLOCK - HOWARD NICKELL RD The first item of consideration today was the preliminary plat of The Meadows Subdivision submitted by W.

Chairman Jacks asked if the dedication to Washington County of 30' along Howard Nickell Rd. had been taken care of and Bullock replied that it had. He inquired as to the dedication of one-half a street on Lindy Lane and Bullock agreed to sign a Bill of Assurance stating that the remainder of the street will be dedicated and built at the time of termination of the "life trust" which exists on the northwest side of this proposed development. Bullock noted that Lindy Lane will be changed to Lindy Road or Drive and Meadow Wood will be one word as per the Water Meter Department. In answer to Jacks" question regarding parks fee, Bullock advised that he is prepared to pay cash in lieu of land. Bullock noted that all property owners surrounding his parcel have been notified by certified mail and that one owner, Leon Edens, has refused to pick up his mail and will not answer the door. He said that Mrs. Edens has advised surveyor, Frank Blew, that she is opposed to this proposal as headlights from vehicles may shine on the Edens' home as they exit Meadowwood. Jacks asked about street improvements and Jones explained that additions in the growth area but not contiguous to the City limits, must meet County street standards which are minimum double chip and oil seal MOTION Green moved approval of this proposal subject to 1. Plat Review comments; 2. a Bill of Assurance to dedicate and build Lindy Drive when the life estate is terminated. Jacks seconded and the motion passed 2-0-0. Jacks suggested amending the motion to include the changes in street names; Lindy Lane to Lindy Drive and Meadow Wood to Meadowwood.
