CONCORDIA PLACE At the regular meeting of the Board of City Commissioners held June 3, 1959, Cul-de-Sac consideration was given a request from Harold Stocker in regard to offsite improvements agreed to for Concordia Place which is a cul-de-sac located on the north side of Harold Stocker Oakey Boulevard between 15th and 16th Streets. Mr. Stocker wished permission to build a 4" roll type curb instead of "L" type curb as required by the improvement 4" Roll Type Curb agreement, as there are only six homes in this cul-de-sac and he wished to make it Approved appear as a lane instead of a street. This request was held in abeyance at the meeting of June 3, 1959. Mr. Stocker spoke to the Board advising them that this is a small development and he would like to develop it more as a lane. He added that there was no excessive drainage problem. Commissioner Fountain stated that he could see no objection to the roll type curb in a cul-de-sac of this nature. Director of Public Works Sauer stated that the Engineering Department was opposed to roll type curb anywhere as there would be nothing to stop cars from going over the curb. Mr. Stocker replied that in a street of continuity he would agree with Mr. Sauer, but in this particular development, he would not. Commissioner Elwell moved that the request of Mr. Stocker to build 4" roll type curb instead of "L" type curb in Concordia Place be approved. Motion seconded by Commissioner Fountain and carried by the following vote: Commissioners Elwell and Fountain voting aye; His Honor Acting Mayor Pro Tem Sharp voting no by reason of the fact that the City had an ordinance covering these things; however, he was of the opinion that perhaps the ordinance should be amended to allow this sort of development.
