Playground land purchase delayed by planning panel
Cherokee Village officials delayed approving a proposed 5 acre land purchase along Reedy Creek for a playground. Vice Mayor Benedict, sole planning committee member present, agreed to study both the playground site and a second recreation area. A definite $8,750 purchase was forwarded to the Board of Mayor and Aldermen, with funds split between park development and general funds. The board postponed action and appointed a committee to study the plan for a future meeting. The panel granted preliminary approval for a suburban subdivision by H. C. Brooks between U S Highway 23 and the Holston River at Hammond Bridge, contingent on fewer lots and septic provisions.
