COUNCIL REVIEW OF PLANNING COMMISSION DECISION CONCERNING <br /> PROPERTY IN THE GOFF ADDITION AS REQUESTED BY ATTORNEY <br /> GARY VINSON <br /> Mr. Gary Vinson addressed the council in regards to a planning commission <br /> decision stating that the property that he and Chris Anderson bought and divided up into <br /> 3 lots constitutes a subdivision and therefore they must conform to subdivision <br /> regulations.

According to maps, the <br /> street is platted but Mr. Charles Goff said the City never accepted that 150 foot portion of <br /> Chadwick Street.

Councilmember Watkins <br /> introduced the ordinance and Mayor Biard read it in full. After several questions from <br /> the council on the purpose of the board, Councilmember Pectol moved to suspend the <br />
