that in order to go with a 50 ' road , not 60 ' , a variance from the Town
Board is necessary . Mr . Keller asked for the diameter of the cul de sac

Texas Lane Extension .
Mr . Fabbroni stated that the diameter of the first cul de sac is
100 ' and the diameter of the second cul de sac is 1001 . He stated that

roads that had a 50 ' right of way itself .
