FORWARDED TO THE %CITY COUNCIL FOR DECISION That determination be made by the City Council, whether the westerly boundary of this subdivision shall be extended to the centerline of Back Bay Drive 12, DELETED If extension of the tract map is not required, that 10 feet of additional right -of -way be dedicated by separate document and provision be made for future improvement of Back Bay Drive.
