N Considerable discussion was held concerning the matter and its relationship to the approved Master Plan amendment which required the acquisition of right of way for 31st N.E. between Loop 286 and Center Street to occur before this section of Center Street is closed. Following discussion, a motion was made by Mr. McCarthy, seconded by Mr. Kent to continue the public hearing and table action on the proposed closing until right of way for 31st N.E. between Loop 286 and Center is acquired. The motion carried 6 ayes, 0 nays. Mr. Clifford rejoined the meeting at this time. Chairman Hayter announced the next item on the Agenda was to consider an amendment to the Street Master Plan relative to a proposed thoroughfare involving the easterly extension of Clement Road at 36th N.E. Mr. Wayne Brown appeared before the Commission asking that consideration be given to deleting this proposed thoroughfare which affects his proposed residential development: He said that need for the future street was questionable and that practically speaking, he could not see it being built as proposed within the foreseeable future. He pointed out that Smallwood Lane north of his property was an established east -west street which could serve as a main traffic feeder. The Commission discussed alternatives to the proposed road and the City Engineer pointed out that the recent amendment calling for 31st N.E. to connect Loop 286 and F.M. 195 affected the issue. He said they would intersect F.M. 195 at about the same location. Mr. Smith agreed that the road, as proposed, did not appear to be realistic within the next 25 or more years. Mr. McCollum advised that sufficient depth could be added to the lots Mr. Brown proposes to allow the acquisition of 30 feet for street purposes at a later date. Chairman Hayter pointed out that 36th N.E. was heavily traveled and consideration should be given to making it a 60, right of way. Following discussion, a motion was made by Mr. Clifford, seconded by Mr. Fendley to recommend an amendment to the Master Plan by deleting the proposed Type C Thoroughfare from 36th N.E. and Clement Road east and south to Pine Mill Road.. The motion carried 7 ayes, 0 nays.
