A letter from the President of the Silver Ridge Home Owners

median strip leading from the highway into Silver Ridge by weeding
the strip and planting Pensacola grass seed. The Association

same.

be made by the City to have the owners of the vacant lots maintain
said lots and two areas of black top broken through for repair
of water pipes or sewer be repaved.
Councilman Dietz stated that he would discuss with Attorney Hall
the owners of the vacant lots, since the developer, W. C.
Alexander, had gone bankrupt. Councilman Lodico added that the
broken pavement mentioned had been repaired.

read by the City Clerk. In his letter Mr. Budd cited the makeshift
building, erected adjacent to his property, for the purpose of
selling fruit and vegetables. Mr. Budd requested the City Officials
investigate the matter and take action to deter the erection of
this type structure in the future.
Councilman Dietz stated that he had noted the building, which

Zone 3, Councilman Dietz felt Councilman Fugate should also
investigate and report his findings to the Council.
