Mr. Mayo pointed out an unacceptable street layout in the southwest corner of the property and made the following suggestions: 1. That prior to rezoning, the developers present a legal master preliminary plat which would dedicate the major streets shown on the property to the city. 2. That prior to rezoning, the developers provide the city with a letter of guarantee for construction of the major streets providing access to the proposed development.

Mr. Ash also pointed out that the sewer line had been designed on the basis of land use as shown in the Pinnell Comprehensive Plan. Mr. Mayo suggested that Mr. Jones request rezoning to a lower density apartment district such as R-6 or R-7 since the resulting density would probably conform to one of these districts.
