with and they were approved as written.
In regard to the Wheeler-Cobb Subdivision, the Village Manager explained
that a new plat had been submitted since the purchase of the controversial lot
and recommended its approval with a 10 ft, easement for an alley and requiring
paved streets and alleys. A plat similar to this but without alleys had been
approved several months ago by both the Planning Board and the Council. Upon
motion made by Mr. Reynolds, seconded by Mr. Franco and passed unanimously,
proposed plat was approved as submitted with the addition of 10 ft. alleys in
place of the easement as shown and that the alleys be paved along with streets
and that public utilities be installed in accordance with our existing ordinance.
The next item on the agenda was in regard to the purchase of a right-
of-way for N. E. 106th Street running west of Biscayne Blvd. Mr. Franco reported
that he had contacted the owner but could not get a better price than previously
quoted, $9500. After a discussion of the advantages to the Village as well as
the affected property owners, that this street would afford, Mr. Carpenter moved
that the property in question be acquired according to the terms tentatively agreed
upon, that is, purchase price of $9500 with $1500 down and the balance over a
9-year period at L,.f interest; the reasons for acquisition being economy in over-
all Village operation and service to residents in that area. Motion was seconded
by Mr. Reynolds and passed unanimously.

draft an ordinance.
