He also said that the original cost estimates concerning materials and streets would have to adjusted upwards to keep up with rising costs of all materials and labor.

Nelson was remined by the Board that the requirements for a turn- around are 60' radius, 120' across and 100' from the curb. It appears that his new plat meets these requirements with no problems.
