Roberts was asked to have a draft ordinance’ ready for commission study at the next regular meeting on August 10, The commission approved the final map of Devonshire Downs subdivision in Penn Valley. This subdivision was on the list issued by the District Attorney's office for alleged subdivision violations, but the roads had already been accepted by the county and the water system has been in opera~ tion for several months. The commission recommended exceptions to the subdivision ordinance to permit approval of Timber Trails Estates which is also on the list of alleged violators. The exceptions which will be recommended to the supervisors would permit the subdivider tofile a final map without making further improvements to existing roads. Specifically the road grades at two points exceed the county maximum of 10 per cent and rights-of-ways at two points are below thecounty minimun of 60 feet. It was recommended a 40 foot right-of-way beallowed at the entrance road and a 50 foot right-of-way be allowed at another point.because of an existing structure. The roads have been oiled and sanded and the subdivider can offer the right-ofways for dedication. The commission also recommended an exception to allow an 11 per cent grade road in Banner Crest No. 3 subdivision because this was the best location for the road, Weather NEVADA CITY Max, Min.

Woodward added in the letter when these conditions were met it would permit issuance of an airport permit “which will provide the city with a very minimum airport facility. Plans should be carried out," he added, “to reorient the runway and provide a runway of sufficient length and layout so that the city would not be operating a very minimal airport (criteria wise) on a permanent basis. “ lease purchase plan for the purchase of encyclopedias had turned out to be less expensive than anticipated.
