Fr- -1 <br />NOV 2 4 1937 <br />BOOK 70 F'rvIJE 186 <br />Director Davis advised that we use only limerock base on all <br />collector roads, and further advised that while soil cement may <br />crack, it does not come apart and go into pot holes. <br />Commissioner Bird asked if we are so far along with the <br />alignment of the Boulevard that we know absolutely that this will <br />the R/W that will be required. <br />Director Davis confirmed that as far as the design is <br />concerned, we are, but there is communication with the Hoffman <br />property representatives and some other people still wanting to <br />shift the road around, and if something like that transpires, we <br />may have to make some adjustments. <br />Commissioner Bird noted that was his question.

He agreed that the developer's idea that if <br />you let me have some buildable area, I will give you the R/W and <br />we'll all be better off, sounds great, but he felt our main <br />purpose is to build a road, and he did not want to go round and <br />round with the developer and the City for years.
