EATON AVENUE VILLAB. Acceptance of Final Map: Mr. Ra,y Tofanelli, with Mr, Davenroy, presented the original filed�map of Eaton Avenue Villas, pointing out location of water and sewage line. Mr. Tofanelli stated that moet of the property had already been sold by metes and bounds; that it vuas never the � intent of the developere of this area to divide the lots into small parcels, and t:he smallest parcel to have been sold is 80 by 150 feet; that former i �� '- City Manager Mead had approved the plan to tie the water and aewage syetem of this subdivision into the City systems when he saw the map shortly before his resignation; that five mottths elapsed before City Manager Blam:. wae installed in office and had an opportunity to examine the plans of Eaton Avenue Villas. , ' Mr. Davenroy atated that the street in Eaton Avenue Villas which does not meet minim wn epecifications was installed before the area was annexed.
