be coming from an existing main. Sewer lines will come down Old highway

is due to the power lines.

talked with the past City Manager and was told this addition would go
in under the old mobile home ordinance. Mr. Santry spoke with the City
Attorney and he said the City had no legal binding to accept this plat
under the old ordinance. Some of the Councilmen have voiced an opinion
that if Mr. Collins put a fence up along Highway 78 to shield the exist-
ing Park, it would be agreeable to let these lots come in under the old
ordinance.

plat under the old ordinance. Seconded by Kent Crane. Four in favor.

zoning and subdivision ordinances. J. T. also stated the Planning and

for developing something not to strict so the land can be developed.

goals and changes they think are necessary.

mutual agreement for the two Cities between Maxwell and Muddy Creeks.
