<br /> In the past, City Council saw fit to endorse the Planning Coramission's

<br />in the review of subdivision plats in that area. Success, ~rgely, has attended our efforts. The Planning

<br />to the city upon request.
<br /> It is understood that our City Attorney is authorized to institute condemnation
<br />to acquire any portion of this street right-of-way not otherwise available. Developers have expressed a
<br />willingness to improve at no expense to the city large segments of the portion of Cherokee Road to be realigned.
<br /> Therefore, the Planning Commission resolved to recommend that City Council
<br />authorize and urge action to complete this undertaking to the benefit of all concerned, using as a basis the
<br />following plat prepared for and at the request of the Department of Public Works:
<br />
<br /> "Plan Showing Proposed Alignment of Cherokee
<br />Road between Elmhurst Lane and City Park Avenue, Portsmouth,
<br />Virginia, R. Kenneth Weeks, Engineers, Norfolk, August 50,
