DR. BOONE - WILDERNESS TRAILS SUBDIVISION
Dr. Boone and Mr. Coulson presented plans for the Wilderness
Trails Subdivision to the Commission for review. The plans
now reflect a curve in the street extending into Greenbrier,
and Dr. Boone stated he had provided for a 801'right-of-way
at the back of the Subdivision.
The Council was represented at the meeting by Councilman
R. J. Blanken and Mayor Ralph Lowe. They asked the Commission
to acquire professional advice on street design for better
traffic flow within the Subdivision and the continuation for
existing streets.
The Commission feels it to be advantageous to keep traffic
flow fvithin the subdivision at a slow speed thus the extension
of Castlewood would hinder the safety of the snhool children,
and cause an overflow of traffic for the residents of the
Subdivision. The Commission was in favor of the curve into
Greenbrier. The Council confers with this idea, but suggested
that the Commission have professional guidance.
ADJOURNMENT - A motion was made for adjournment, the meeting
