October 18~ 1955 .n~ b The plat consists of ~29 lots exclusive of Parcel "A" designated for park purposes and so dedicated. In addition to the park dedication the abovementioned subdividers llave offered to donate the sum of $3.000.00 for park improvements in lieu of additional land dedication as required by our ordinance. An examination of the plat will disclose that four corner lots that are adjacent to Golf Road and the lots that are along the south side of Sunset Road have less than the required 75 ft. frontage, this, however, is due to the irregularity of Golf Road and there- for, in our opinion, is justifiable. It is our recommendation that the proposed plat be approv- ed subject to andin compliance v.rith the Village Ordinance, and likewise subject to your accept...nce of the $3,000.00 offer stated herein.
