Mr. Wood stated that subdivision plats will be required in all cases. Any division into two lots, not an acre lot, is a subdivision.

On motion of Mr.Grenoble, seconded by Mr.Belcher, it is resolved that this Commission re -convene in its meeting room. In a discussion of the proposed subdivision change, Mr. Gunter stated that the proposed change would eliminate many troubles but.^caused many troubles to other citizens.

The vote Laing taken, Mr. Gunter, Mr. Eagles and Mr. Keck voted "Yes". Mr. Grenoble, Mr. Burnett, Mr. Belcher and Mr. Sowers, voted "No", which motion is not passed.

Wallace be allowed, so far as the Berean Baptist Church has the power to do so, to cionstruet, build and erect one private garage, on property of the said Wallace, which adjoins the property of said Berean Baptist Church; the founda- tion of which said garage, shall not be closer than 2 feet, (24 inches) to the common dividing line between the said properties; and that the trustees be requested to write a letter to the said P. R. Wallace, informing him of the action of the church." Therefore, in accordance with the desires of the congregation of the Berean Baptist Church, we the undersigned, being all of the trustees of said Berean Baptist Church, have hereunto set our hands and seals, this day of February, in the year of our Lord, 1955. m April 28, 1955 Board of Supervisors Chesterfield County Chesterfield, Virginia Gentlemen: I do not object to Coleman and Poarch building a home within 12 feet of my property line on the adjacent lot to their property on Riverview Drive in the Grxd View Section. If it is necessary, I will shift my house as near the Allen property as possible in order to give the maximum space between the houses. We hope that you will not object to them setting this closer than the R-1 restrictions required. Yours very truly, Ruben andis April 200 1955 Board of Supervisors of Chesterfield County Chesterfie ld, Virginia Gentlemen: As you have heard I have been digging a well in Beulah Village for the past few weeks and now it is 580 feet below grade and have obtained only six(6) gallons per minute water supply. I am advised that further attempts to get water at this depth will not be commensurate with the cost involved. I seek your approval of this plan of action: Allow me to authorize Lyttle and Barnes, who will lay the pipe under the County's control to proceed with the installation of the line. Sonce I have sold twelve (12) houses, allow me to connect these 12 houses to the lines and serve them from the existing well temporarily. It is my plan to start immediately on a new well east of this location on land recent ly acquired for further subdivision. I. of course, will give the same guarantees on the new well to the County that existed on the old well* You, Gentlemen know that this well haS been quite expensive and I request that you do everything in your power to help me out of this situation. Yours very truly, C- Jose T. Moore
