with Stoneybrook St . and make that a continuation of

sort of sidewalk through the development for school children
to travel on their way to school rather than for them to
have to walk out on the main thoroughfare . Discussion with
the City Manager and the commission members and the
principals showed that the city would be willing to grant a
variance on the side yards between lots 20 and 21 and lots
10 and 11 in order to gain an easement for a four (4) foot
sidewalk . Such sidewalk to be installed by the developer
and dedicated to the city . After lengthy discussion a

this plat to the City Council with the following
