Taken under advisement on 4/11/61 and 4/18/61. It was determined that this item would be taken under advisement until more informa- tion is received as to why the turn-around driveways were not installed on certain lots fronting on Schoolcraft. Mr. McCullough: As Item 6a, I would like to bring up Golfview Meadows Subdivision. This developer wishes to increase the lot size of his plat from 70 and 80 ft. lots to 80 and 90 ft. lots. The question is does this require another public hearing? It was determined that the City Planner would forward a letter to the Law Department requesting a legal opinion on this matter. It was also suggested that it might be advisable to shorten up the planting strip 1[10 of the boulevard in this plat at the intersections and to face the lots on Six Mile Road rather than side them on Six Mile Road. Another suggestion was to ask the developer to pave the east half of Wayne Road also. The property on the east side of Wayne Road did not belong to the developer and could not be used at the present time due to a deep ravine running through it. Upon a motion duly made by Mr. Okerstrom, supported by Mr. Peacock and unanimously adopted, it was #5-84-61 RESOLVED that, the City Planning Com-^ission does hereby approve the minutes for meeting held on Tuesday, April 11, 1961 except for that member who was not present, he abstain from voting.
