CONSIDER APPROVING FINAL PLAT - SECTION 4, FAIRMONT PARK - Mr. Charles Christensen, Chairman of the Planning & Zoning Commission was presented and stated that at the last meeting of the Planning & Zoning Commission it was their recommendation to the City Commission that a dedicated park site be set aside in both Fairmont Park, Section 4 and Fairmont Park Section 3, West, rather than accepting the tax value of the land which would be approximately $4,000.00 per acre.

Eddie Gray, developer, Mr. Christensen suggested that the Commission consider approving both Section 4 and Section 3, West, of Fairmont Park and negotiate further with Mr. Gray for possibly both land and money.
