Sub. , a 50 ft. lot adjoining his residence at the above address. The Village
Manager reported that the offer made to the Village to sell this lot for
$18, 000. 00 had been withdrawn by Mr. Grover. The Mayor stated that he
did not approve of the plan to build on this lot and thought the Village should
acquire it by condemnation. It was Mr. Nicholson's opinion that an owner
should not be permitted to create two building. sites on a piece of property now

Frix, Jr. , who appeared with Mr. Grover, argued that the Council had previously
granted permits to build on 50 ft, lots and felt that a permit should be issued
or condemnation started. The Mayor agreed to ask the Council to make final
disposition at the next meeting.
