regarding the Brownstone Development. Mr. Tidwell said he was appearing before the City Council in behalf of the Brownstone Development. He said the Brownstone Development, since the principals are Wayne Brown, Chad Brown and Cade Stone, and they are present tonight. Mr. Tidwell said what the issue is that a development that was occurring out on FM 195, and whether or not the city would grant their request to participate in the over - sizing of the streets out there. Mr. Tidwell said there is a large street that has been built and Mr. Wayne Brown had appeared before the City Council and it had been requested of him to build a 39 foot street. He said it was going to be his contention to this Council that the code really requires a 28 foot street, and in this instance, he was requested to build a 39 foot street, an over - sizing of approximately 11 feet. Mr. Tidwell said there are some arguments for that, but there are numerous arguments again it. Mr. Tidwell said that back on September 6, 2000, he sent a letter to Mr. Schenk presenting their claim and asked that it be considered.
