Mr. Charles J. Lewis and his engineer, Mr. L. E. Tyson, appeared before the Commission concerning their request to annex the NE¼, NW¼ and the S½, NW¼ and the N½ of SW¼ of Section 30, T20S, R62E, MDB&M. This petition for annexation was approved by the Planning Commission. The Commission asked Mr. Lewis if he would be willing to grant land to the School Board. Mr Lewis indicated that he would grant 8 acres for a school site. Discussion was held and Mr. Lewis was advised that the petition for annexation was not in order due to the fact that one of the property owners had not signed the same. He was requested to secure this signature; a letter from the Water Company as to whether or not water would be available or the subdivider could provide his own wells; also to provide an access street to the proposed subdivision. When all this information has been secured the matter will be placed on the agenda of the next meeting of the Commission on September 7, 1955. At the hour of 9:15 P.M. the meeting recessed, reconvening at 9:30 P.M. with all members present as of the opening session. Mr. Franklin Bills presented the request of the Planning Commission for determination of policy related to the requirement that subdividers dedicate land for school sites. Commissioner Sharp moved that this matter be held in abeyance until a full Commission is present, and recommended a meeting with the School Board and the Planning Commission. Motion seconded by Commissioner Fountain and carried by the following vote: Commissioners Fountain, Sharp and His Honor voting aye; noes, none. Absent: Commissioners Bunker and Whipple. Commissioner Sharp moved that the application of Joseph Mosca for a new restaurant beverage license for the Fifth Street Restaurant, 825 South 5th Street, for the third quarter of 1955; he approved.

Motion seconded by Commissioner Sharp and carried by the following vote: Commissioners Fountain, Sharp and His Honor voting aye; noes, none. Absent: Commissioners Bunker and Whipple.
