Further discussion was had on the proposed ordinance to require installation of utilities underground. It was pointed'out that underground utilities would be required in the remaining units of Clavinia Subdivision, and for esthetic reasons, it would be better to require uniform installations.

Mr. Walker was present and urged the Board to rezone the subject lot to permit development similar.to that across the street and other areas on the perimeter of the Hovland Subdivision, and asked that full improvements be constructed by special assessments, in order that the acre lots be rezoned and subdivided in conformity with the area. It was pointed out the proposed special assessment improvements for the Hovland area were minimal, in order that costs would be low enough'.to maintain acre lots, without undue hardship to the owners.
