MAURICE RAY Mr. Maurice 0. Ray, Jr., 2331 Cabrillo Circle, addressed the RE SYLVIA DR.' Council concerning his plans for the Vista Ray Convalescent Hospital located at the southeast corner of Ham Lane and Sylvia Drive.: He had run into difficulties in trying to get the curb and gutter installed as required by the State before the hospital could be opened. At a previous meeting the Council had accepted the deed for Ham Lane but had rejected his offer of a 20 -foot right of way for Sylvia Drive because this street will have a 55 -foot right of way and he is required to dedicate half of the street. Therefore the Engineering Department had not given Mr. Ray the radius for the corner so that he could have the curb and gutter installed. He said that he Was willing to purchase 7J feet of the property to the north (Cheatham estate), but that the property is in probate and not available for pur, chase. He said that Mr. Hugh Dow, executor of the estate, had indicated his willingness to have Sylvia Drive go through. Mr. Ray offered to post a bond with the City for purchase of the 71 feet when it was Fvailable; however, the City Council did not want to get involved in this type of transaction. He asked that the City accept his deed for 20 feet so that he could go ahead with his plans. The City Attorney was of the opinion that the executor of the Cheatham estate could convey the property to the City. On motion of Councilman Dow, Culbertson second, the Council accepted the deed from Mr. Ray for 20 feet of right of way for Sylvia Drive, subject to Mr. Ray's obtaining 7216 feet for additional right of way.
