He=recommended three re- visions: 1. that the drainage and utility easements between lots 4 and 5 and between lots 7 and 8, Block 3, would also serve as access to the park property and, therefore, access easements should be deeded to the City; 2, that, the. centerline radius of the two horizontal curves on Leward Avenue be increased to 200 to allow a more gradual curve; and 3. that the plat should indicate each lot corner stake and not just the block corners, as indicated. The Engineer also reviewed the proposed deed description for the temporary cul-de-sac on the west end of 12th Street; and said the description was in error and should be revised. He recommended that the developers bond be set at $145,000. The developer's engineer reviewed the estimate and agreed with the bond amount.
