Text: The appellant Board has filed a petition for clarification of our opinion herein. The Board argues that if on taking of evidence it is made to appear that the grantor of the lands in question had not ever, in fact, adopted and followed a definite plan of development of said lands that the Board will not be able to allege and prove that the proposed development and use of the park    were in accordance with the    lines adopted and followed by the grantor   . The Board should only be required to allege and prove that which is necessary to show compliance with the conditions and/or restrictions in the deed by which it acquired title. If the Board alleges and proves that the grantor had not in fact ever adopted and followed a definite plan to develop the lands this would be sufficient. It seems apparent to us under the terms of the deed that unless such a plan was adopted and followed by the grantor that the abovementioned condition must be construed to mean that the lands must be developed and used for park purposes, generally, rather than under a specific plan of the grantor. We held in our opinion that the plan of development proposed by the Board and its lessee was for park purposes. With this clarification we adhere to our original opinion. TERRELL, C.J., and THOMAS and DREW, JJ., concur.
