BEN WOODWOR_TH SUBDIVISION
City Engineer Russell Ln,gram present;e,d' an area
plot plan of the Ben Woodworth Subdivision
f`or :the Comm cons iderati -ono FoI low i,ng
a.general discussion, it was suggested to Mr.
Marshall., engineer for isai,d subdivision, to in -.
•corporat:e revisions in a ;layout as recommended by
'
the Commission with c.:onside rat ton for a recreatLon-
al area and school site. City Manager Ede Frank
reported that he had received a telephone call from
Dr. Twist of the School Board r, eque<st i.ng that some
provision for 'a school site be studied. in the area.
"that.
Therefore, Chairman Taylor stated in the event
the School Boa -rd dad not contact the City Engineer's
office in regard to said school site, Mr. Marshall
should check with 'the school authorities on the
matter. Mr, Marshall indicated he would have a
revised plan of said subdIvisi.on ready for the next
meeting.'
Later in the meeting, in answer.to Bob Wells of the
Argus Courier, who requested an enlargement of the
P1an'ning - Comm ssion actiaon on the area plot plan,
Chairman Taylor explained that the Commission
recommended the extension of Payran Street through_
the subd ; ivisi,on be re- routed to Magnolia Avenue,
as Payran ;Street i.s a major city street on the
Master,Plan., and although Magnolia Avenue is
presently . outside: Eof the city .limits, in the pro -
jection of streets, it is being considered as
a major street.
