440 TUESDAY OCTOBER 9, 1984 A. Petition filed by Miss Buena Thomas and Mr. & Mrs. W. L. Hussey seeking the abandonment of that section of Winston Street situated between Lavinder Street and the south side of Memorial Boulevard; and B. Petition filed by Miss Buena Thomas, Mrs. Elizabeth Gregory, and Mr. John W. Hamilton seeking the abandonment of a fifteen- foot alley adjacent to Lots Nos. 97, 98, 99, 110, and 111, between Lavinder Street and the south side of Memorial Boule- vard.

As previously scheduled, Council reviewed pages 6-1 through 9-17 of the proposed Com- prehensive Plan Update (recently prepared by the Planning Commission) and, after some discussion of this section (and parts thereof) of the Plan Update, deemed that Council has completed its review of said pages 6-1 through 9-17, pending administrative responses to certain questions previously raised. Council then indicated that it will continue and/ or conclude its review of the Plan Update at its forthcoming October 23rd regular meeting, to which meeting Council extended a special invitation (to attend) to those citizens who have already registered concerns and interest in the Land-Use section to be reviewed and considered at said meeting.
