~~ -~~ ::.. "~" -~ " 73 J. of the area and it is suggested that the acreage of the park area in the vacinity of the National Broadcasting Company property and the Sewer Plant be redistributed within the neighborhood areas as described. A small two to three neighborhood area could still be provided in the vacinity of the Sewer Plant. 2. The concept of a community size park to be located somewhere in the nvacinify.'of .Shell" Parkway and the waterway, as-indicated, was highly acceptable and every effort should be made to provide for this centralized park facility. 3.
