1. Motion to approve abandonment of a portion of Saybrook
Drive and sale of property to owners of adjoining property
from. which t~e Deed of Dedication was given.
Mr. Wall: This concerns the abandonment of Saybrook between
the cul-de-sac at the end of Scott Street and the cul-de-sac
that would be built at the end of Orange Street. This is in
the Belair Estates area. Say brook is not improved at this time
and this will give access to the property owners in the area.
The objections were that Mr. Lewis felt this would deny future
development of his property because he is losing frontage along
Saybrook and the other property owner felt the same way.
After further discussion and comments from property owners
in the area, Mr. Chairman: Mr. Wall, would you get together
