A study of the new pre- liminary had been made by the Village Planners and it was felt that the existing residence should be shown on this. Since there is an existing 40 foot right-of- way for street on Waterman Avenue, and the minimum now required is 50 feet, they also felt that another 10 feet should be dedicated for street purposes. After discussion with Mr. Kenneth Young of the Eberhardt Company and also with Mr. D. B. Fralick, who lives in the house, Planning Commission felt it would be more reasonable to require another 5 feet from this plat and when property on the other side of Waterman Avenue is developed, that the additional 5 feet be acquired. Motion was then made, seconded and carried to recommend approval of this as a Preliminary subject to the dedication of 5 feet for street purposes and that the depth of lots 1, 2 and 3 be maintained at 120 feet exclusive of this 5 foot strip. 4- AL PAYTON°S PRELIMINARY OF TWO LOTS ON BRITTANY ROAD, also 7 lots across Brittany Road between 66th Street and 67th Street, was accepted for study. 5- HAROLD HERMANN. 6417 Normandale Road, was present and withdrew his request to divide Lot 3, Block 15, Normandale Addition into two lots.

Mr. Todd suggested that Planning Commission meet and go out and study Mr. Sime°s preliminary plans for Walnut Ridge II Addition, between 169-212 and 60th Street, but no time was set. There being no further business, meeting adjourned at 10:30 P.M. Respectfully submitted, Lillie M• Berry, Secretary.
