"Similar to one of the requirements for West Park Unit 3B, it is recom- mended that the developer provide by agreement with owners of lands adjacent to King Drive to realign the boundaries and dedicate the right of way of King Drive between the easterly and westerly lines of Unit 3D. It is also recommended that the developer provide by separate agreement and bond to improve the right of way of King Drive between the easterly and westerly lines of Unit 3D before the final map is approved.

Re: 5880.85 Tentative Map, Westborough~West Park Unit No. 3-D "Reference is made to inter--office memorandum of January 26, 1971 from the Director of Public Works on the subject Tentative Map. 1. The catch basin and manhole at the intersection of Savannah Court and Greendale Drive were inadvertently left off of the map, and have been added thereto. 2. The right of way width for Kent Way between King Drive and Greendale Drive was established as fifty feet at the time of approval of the General Development Plan for Westborough- West Park Unit No.3 in 1968. Additionally, this street width was ",,1325- SA-19 February 22, 1971 "shown on the approved Tentative Map of Westborough-West Park Unit No.3-B" of which this street is a part. Accordingly, on the basis of these prior approvals of the street width standards in this area, we cannot comply with the recommenda- tion from the office of the Director of Public Works. "3. In accordance with the practice in the previous units of this development, the structural thickness of the pavement will be per the recommendations of the soil engineer~ and in con- formity with the standards and criteria previously established with the office of the City Engineer.
