RESOLUTION R-1718-93: A RESOLUTION TO THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF NORMAN, OKLAHOMA, FOR A PARTIAL EXEMPTION FROM CURRENT STANDARDS FOR CURB AND GUTTER REQUIREMENTS RELATING TO A PRELIMINARY PLAT FOR GOLDEN TRIBE ADDITION, FOR A REPLAT OF THE EAST HALF OF LOTS 7 THROUGH 16, BLOCK 90, ORIGINAL TOWNSITE OF NORMAN.
