Mr. Hyde noted that when the area to the East was platted, it was always in the
Village plans that this street would go straight through and that the number of
homes in the area make this imperative from a standpoint of Police and Fire pro-
tection.
ents the committee appointed-at the Planning Codssion Meetipg, took issue with
Mr. Hyde, saying that lots on east Creek Valley Roadpere sold by the developer
