BILL RATLIFF - Engineer's Recommendation - Canyon Ridge Drive; Morrisdale Estates The minutes of the May 19 meeting re- flected a request to the City Engineers to make a recommendation on the request of Fred Ball for opening Canyon Ridge Drive toward Huffman Drive on the North.

His recommendation was not to approve the request. After discussion of the matter, the chairman stated that upon the recommendation of the City Engineers, he was opposed to opening the street (Canyon Ridge) any farther North than ICynette Drive. LaVern Lee made a motion to disapprove the request. The motion was seconded by Henry Uselton. The chairman asked to have a copy of the minutes sent to Fred Ball. The Motion passed unanimously. The minutes of the May 19 meeting re- flected a request to the City Engineers to examine the County Court House records for final plat recording on Morrisdale Estates. Final plats were submitted to the Commission with appropriate signatures. Final plats had been approved at the May 26 meeting of the City Council, so this was a matter of information and did not require any action. IV.
