44 TUESDAY AUGUST 24, 1965 Mr. H. P. Collins, of 1013 Cherokee Trail, by petition and in person, requested the construction of curb-and-gutter (on a shared-cost basis) along the front of his property on Cherokee Trail, which would be the extending of the approved project (for an adjoining property owner) for a distance of one hundred feet on the north side of Cherokee Trail in the direction of Park Court. Upon motion, Council authorized the construction of this requested curb-and-gutter in conjunction with the approved projects involving the Giddings and Renfroe properties. Council was informed that voluntary participation and damage waivers have been obtained from all owners of property along Cherokee Court with the exception of Mr. Roy Hodnett, whose side-lot line represents approximately 18% of the total footage involved in the curb-and-gutter project approved, by Council for this street. Council was also informed, however, of Mr. Hodnett's indication that he does not object to the construction of this curb-and-gutter and, too, that he might assume his pro-rata share which other property owners have agreed to underwrite, although he is unwilling (as yet) to execute the required damage waiver. Council was also informed that there is a probability that Mr. Hodnett's property would not be disturbed during the construction, unless it be from some dirt spillage onto his property and except for the construction of a drive-way entrance; whereupon motion, Council authorized the Public Works Department to proceed with the project as scheduled. Upon motion, duly seconded and unanimously carried, Council authorized the executing by appropriate City officials of an agreement with the Norfolk & Western Railway Company, providing for an overhead City-owned electric power line crossing of the railway company's right-of-way off Roundabout Road in the vicinity of the Wray farm.
