Minutes for City Council meeting on April 4, 1988
body
An appeal hearing was held for Johnny White, III regarding an MAPC stipulation requiring the developer of Club Manor Subdivision to place $5,000 in an escrow account for a period of 5 years at 7:00 p.m. Attorney Skip Mooney, Sr. objected to the requirement that the developer deed 16-ft. right of way along 360 feet of frontage, curb and gutter the property and post the money in escrow. White agreed to give the right of way, but questioned his being required to post a bond when no other residential developer along Nettleton has been forced to make similar improvements. He further added that if the city had not started improvements along Nettleton within a 5-year period, the money would be refunded to the developer.
