Planning and Zoning Commission Recommendation to the City Council Z-1385 April 17, 1979 Identity: Z-1385 This is the petition of Mr. Carroll Goen requesting a change in zoning. from Single Family (SF-7) to Multi Family Restricted (MF-R classifi- ' cation for approximately three acres located on the west side of Bell Avenue. Location This property is located adjacent and south of the Denton Housing Authority's elderly development. Recommendation: The petitioner seeks development of this tract as a medium-density apartment complex. Multi Family Restricted (MF-R) toning classifi- cation permits approximately 17 units per acre and on this three acres would allow about 51 uhits. the site in this request is some what difficult to develop according to its single family zoning classification -because of its narrow depth (1971). If the necessary street were extended to serve's single family subdivision, lots could be sited only on one side of the street. Surrounding land uses include a church to the south, the College'.Park single family addition to the west, and the Denton Housing Authority's elderly development to the north (at a density of 15 units per acre}. The site in this reqquest does not immediately adjoin existing develop- ment'in the single family College Park Addition becausG.ther`e is a small vir. t area that will remain single family. A transition between the existing single family homes and the proposed MP-A fone could be provided or thi s currently undeveloped property: ;The siniilapity to density between the proposed apartment development and the Denton ( Housing Authority's elderly housing complex to the 00rth;(17 to 15 dwelling units per acre) suggests a compatibility of land uses., Public facilities are adequate to "support the propposed land.use. As planned, all access to this apartment site would be from 6e11 Avenue, Hater and sewer service can be extended to serve the site and there , It adequate capacity in the lines. ' The Planning and Community Development Department's report stated that this was a reasonable request, Of notices-sent to property owners for the Planning Commission hearing, two were returred in favor and two in oppositiem. No opposition was expressed at the Planning Commission hearing.

PD zoning per+nitting a cluster r^c-'irement village in southern Denton was approved in February 1977. As origina' approved, the development propos•d single story dwnl- ling units arranglu in clusters and a small retail center to serve the residents, Two residential clusters are nearing completion and the developer is ready to begin the next development phasb. The developer seeks to modify thn appproved planned development in order to permit the construction of two E multi story complexes, as wall as a nursing home and administration building combination. In order for these changes to be incorporated into the planned development, twa things rust be done: first, a revised general plan r -;t be approved by the City Council, along with any necessary ct.anges to r i conditions bf the general plan; secondly, a site plan for the next ph o of development must be approved by the Manning Commission and the City I~++ncil. The Planning Commission revfevrd the revised general site plan (see m p) for John Knox Village and the revised general plan conditions at its April R 1 meetiug, the originally approved sito plan and conditions authorized 1,17+? single story units on 157 acres, designed to serve an elderly clientele. The revised eneral plrn continues the concept of an elderly retirement village with* tho sane number of dwelling units proposed for the site, al thodggh with a modification to-the arrangement of units, Two four story apartntient buildings (98 units and 168 units respectively) and a nursing ; home-admitsstration building require tha elimination of several residential clusters as approved in the original plan to maintain a projected density of 1 170 units. The revised site plan conditions permit this increased { flexibility for, the development, and coordinates street and utility con struction with the changed phasing of the project. The Planningg Commission J + and the staff feel this revision to the general plan is reasonable, The Planning Comission also reviewed the specific site plan (see reap) for Phase A of the development which includes one four story 'residential building, one residential cluster, and the Pursing hume--adinini3tr6tion building. Parking ,ropased in this area is less than one space per dwelling unit. the devo~ope'r provided the staff with research fron tither similar devel- opn,tlnts in which reduced parking for this type of development has worked successfully, The staff reviewod this rn•iterial and advised the Planning Cor-mission that the proposal does appear roasonablo, so long as tee City retains the discretion to rroquiee additional parking if the proposed Stan- d3rd proves inadequate. II i i 2 RECOMMENDATIO`i: The Planning Commission recommends approval of the '^evised general plan and the revisod general plan conditions for John Knox Village. The Planning Commission also reco~anends approval of the site plan for Phase A with the followiirg condition: Parking is perwitted in Phase A as shown on the site plan, at less than one space per duelling unit. Additional parking may he rcquirod for this area, in approval of later phases, if this amount of parking does not prove to be adequate. The Planning staff supports this rocopenendation. ACTIJN REQUIRED: The City Council should move to approve the revised general plan and re- vised general plan conditions for Jahn Knox Village. ThP CiLy Council should also move to approve the site plan for Phase A, with the condition recommended by the Planning Connissinn, E>iliID1TS: t a Memo b flap of revise ' general plan , c Revised general plan conditions ; d Proposed site plan: Phase A ~,,,~YYG~,ltlt~r✓.//%-'. ~ i { a a 6 .s • J REVISED SITE PLAN PD-22 YA, :i- Y. 149 1 . f• ~.J~nnrn ~^'.n eU .1 2N.

General plan approval is not granced to any type of multi-family development that does not exclusively serve elderly persoi,s. The general plan il- lustrates 30 residential development areas, Total unit count cf the development shall not exceed 1170 units. 2i Before a building permit 1s issued in any phase, a final plan for that phase showing street, utility and drainage improvements, size and loca- tion of buildings, yards and open space shall be submitted for review and consideration by the Planning and Zoning Commission and the City j Council. 3) The retail area designated in the general plan.on the northwest corner 'of the property shall be developed only for small stale neighborhood service type use such as: Commissary, drug store, convenience shop, hair dresser and barber shop, dry cleaning and laundry, 'craft and hobby shop, apparel shop, tobacco shop and gift or notion shop. fhe buildings constructed shall correspond in general character to the rendering submitted by the developer as noted on alate no, 6. No sec- tion of the retail area shall be built before the beginning of construction on phase B. j DEVELOPMENT PLAN Streets and Parking Right-of-way, 90 feet wide, has been dedicated by thq developers to provide for the extension of Montecito Road, The developers shill provide residen- tial width pavement on Montecito Road (341) as a part of tho development. The city will participate in any overwidth paving. Montecito paving can be provided In three sections corresponding with the beginning of construe- ti on in Development Phase I, Phase A, and Phase 0 as described below: Phase 1 - from Ryan Road to the Main Entrance Phase A - From Main Entrance to Secondary Entrance (approximately 600' South) Phase B - From Secondary Entrance South to Southern Property Line i _ 2 All interior streets shall be privately constructed and ma: lined. General approval is given for one parking space per dwelling unit conve- niently located for its tenants.' (Spccific acceptance of the parking design shown on the general plan for the entire development is not given as part of this Planned Pevelopment approval.) This standard may be reduced by the site plan if t appears less parking is necessary. It is possible that if an increased parking requirement becomes necessary, changes to density and building siting may be required. ~ F Sanitar Sewer Each development phase shall be assessed pro rata charges as connected to sewer facilities. All interior sewer'lines shall be privately owned and t maintained Water Line Developer shall pay for the extension of an eight inch water line from the existing 12" water line in Montecito for the remaining length of Montecito Drive.

S. 380 East, beginning 1700' east of the intersection of 300 and Cooper Creek Road. This tract has 800' of highway s 380 frontage and is 430' Jeep. b) annexation and Light Industrial (LI) zoning classification on ! 22.1 acres adjoining the property in (a) to tfe north. This i tract measures 800' in width and 1200' in depth. . 9 Reconrr~ndation: The Planning and Zoning Ccntiission recommends approval of this petition. This proposal seeks Light Industrial (LI) zoning on a 30 acre tract located on the north side of Highway 380 East, beginning approximately h 1700' cast of the Cooper Creek/hwy. 380 intersection. The 380 frontage is within the city limits and zoned Agricultural (A) while the renaindar of the property is outside the city limits and mast be annexed and zoned to be developed. I The Light Industrial (LI) zoning classification requested for this entire tract would permit industrial land uses similar to those already in existence in this vicinity, such as Green Giznt Co. and the Safety Kleen recycling plant. The Comprehensive Plan indicates this entire general area is appropriate for development, as light industrial uses. Regarding the availabilit, of public facilities, existing streets are adequate to accomod,,te this proposed development. Municipal utilities , are accessible, but will need to be extended frLa Cooper Creek Road in order to serve this site. The Planning and Comwunity Development Department recommended approval of this petition. Of notices sent to property owners for the Planning Commission hearing, one was returned in favor and one in opposition to this request. No opposition was expressed at the Planning Commission o hearing. The Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously r4.=mr..ended the City Council approve zoning petition 7.1383.

SUftRY: On Feburary 270 the Council reviewed three bids for the Old Post Office. i These bids were rejected because they were substantially less than the ap- praised value of the property: The staff recommended studying the issue of requiring land use plans to be submitted with proposals when the pro- perty is rebid. ALTERNATIVES: 1) *Advertise the Post Office property for sale and award it to the'highest , • bidder 2) Advertise the Post Office property for sale,but require land use plans with the bids and award the property to the best overall proposal. RECOMMENDATION: 1 The Old Post Office is an important property,because of its location in the downtown area between the government offices on Mc Square. It the building can be adapted for a desirable rey Street and the use such as a res- W cant, or perhaps an office complex` it would contribute to the Continued ; Viability of the central business district. Proper reuse or. hedeVelopment would have the effect of increasing the value of the property and city tax ' revenue, and also of encouraging property owners in the general area to improve their buildings. The cities of Dallas and Fort Worth have recently considered, the sale of important pproperties where thoy have reyyuired'iand use proposals to be sub- ; mitted with the bid. The staff has studied the Request for Proposals developed,b Dallas for sale of the Mobil Building and is recommending that we follow basically the same process. I The request for proposals would begin with a statement of goals and inten- tions. The goals of further revitalization of the COD, preservation of an Important building, and the realization of the best.economic?return involved In the sale and taxing of the property would be outlined. The city's in- 9 tention of evaluating proposals in liht of these goals, and the developer's f ability to demonstrate he can implement his proposal, would be stated. The following elements would be requested in the proposal: e r i f^ 1) Developers concept for reuse of the property ' a Use, proposed b duidin9 treatment p c Site development t d Development schedule i I i 41° 71 j ♦ I r 2) Financial factors a Purchase price b Anticipated expenditure on the property and tax• revenue 3) Implemertation of the proposal a) Elements of the proposal that will be incorporated into the sales contract b) Evidence of the developer's financial ability to carry out the proposal y The property will be advertised fora two to three month period. The staff will develop a report on the proposals that are submitted We will evaluate the bids from an economic standpoint (purchase price and tax revenue). We will also evaluate the land use plans and give our Judgment on the best overall proposal. I . i ACTION REQUIRED: Council motion to instruct the staff to advertise the Old Post Office building for sale'with the Request for Proposals that has been outlined. i j Li } I y , 7 l CITY OF DENTON n MEMORANDUM I , APRIL 17, 1979 i AGENDA ITEM: i Consider selL;;tion of a consultant to perform design and construction ad- ministration for the Robertson Street overpass. SUf14ARY: i The Council considered a recommendation from the staff at the F'ehruary 20 meeting concerning tte employment of a firm to perform the engineering work ` for the reconstruction of the Robertson Street railroad bridge, The staff i initially recormlended a firm that had done the preliminary design and es- timdte. The Council asked that we solicit propoval.; from other firms fur I comparison. { A total of 15 firms were contacted and asked to submit statements of int~.,r- j i est and to complete a questionnaire. Eight firms responded. A staff committee from the Planning and Engineering Departments (John Eavr~.tta, Rick 5vehla, Mick Parker, and Randy Casstevensg reviewed the submittals and requested the four firms which we felt were best qualified to make a presentation to the committee. The questionnaire which the firms completed !equested the following Informa- tion: i i Size of professional staff and volume of work , 2 Experience with federal regulation compliance Previous railroad design experience i , A Availability of engineering design staff 5 Experience and qualifications of the individual that will be involved 3 in negotiations with the railroad during the preliminary phase 3 I S} Expo once and qualifications of the individual in charge of the bridge 4 j i i design work i ~7) Experience and qualifications of the resident inspector B} Projected schedule for job completion The staff had originally also requested information concerning fees and protected cost of the project, We learned that a State law which prohibits soliciting engineering services through competitive bids would not allow the firms to respond to these questions,and the staff deleted them from the questionnaire. i ALTERNATIVFS# The four firms interviewed are, l 1} Nogan and Rasor (In association with Datum Structures Incorporated) j Dallas, Texas I 3 I i a I I i 1 2 2) URS/Correst and Cotton - Dallas, Texas 3 Carter and Burgess - Dallas, Texas 4 Schoell, Fields and Association (In association with Bakke, Kopp, Ballow and McFarlin) - Denton, Texas and St. Louis Park, Minnesota RECWM.NDATION: Although any of the four fir7ps listed could handle the job, the review coiunit:ee has determined that besed on the selection criteria, Forrest and Cotton, Inc. most directly meets the needs of the City. The reasons behind this determina- tion are as follows: 1) The individual who will be in charge of negotiations during the preliminary phase is a former employee of and has maintained an excellent relation- ship with Missouri-Pacific Railroad Company. 2) The individual who will act as resident inspector has excellent qualifi- cations and a high level of railroad bridge experience. 3) The close proximity of the engineering design staff (Dallas) will allow for its availahility on very short notice in the event of ery problems during construction. 4) Previous experience gained in this project during the feasibility study gives Forrest and Cotton detailed knowledge corirerning engineering problems. i ACTION REQUIRED: The City Council should move to instruct the staff to negotiate a contract with Forrest and Cotton. i r~ /',I' ~ Mfg' ,f . a;. rr f r f/,~fll T t ~ a • 4 q ~i I 5 I i te~~ r / EHTON TEXAS 76201 / TELEPHONE (817) 382-9601 CITY of DENTON, TEXAS MUNICIPAL BUILDING / D ' M E M 0- r City Counat TOE FROM, Fat Cheek, Chatnpehaon, Pahka S Recneatton Boand VATEr Ap,%tt 9, 1979 f SUBJECTr Summers Ptaygnound Phogham The Panke 6 Reehtatton Boated xeeommenda-thte phopoa!rtt to the Pty Councit Soh adoption, The Boated bteta that thin tO tt eaabte the City o6 Denton, Panke 6 Rteheatton aepahtment and North Texae State Univeh- eity, Utvlaton o6 Recrteataon and Letauhe Studiee an op aht- unity to wohk togetheh and bencitt tmehmheenta~tnd thho- young peopte who pahtieipate eum i in the.

BY oper,atit+g in an autononois manner from the Denton Parks and Etecreaticin Department, the Division of. Rtereat.ion and Leisuri Studies will attempt to develop a model Leisure Education program thou ' will set the tane for future playground programs across the nation; as well as develop a healthy citizen attitude towards the Parks ant] Recreation Department of Denton and its Su":c: program. The basic purpose of the program will be to offer unique and neasurable c!etivities to a cross-section of the population. This will result in leisure learning; by the participants and an appreciation of leisure as an important element in today's society. Through the use of new competency areas, such as j magic and new g;amios, as well as the use of long, and short teem ' thenes, North Texas Division of Recreation and Leisure Studies hopes to ut•ilirc t.•seablished playground sites to build a new ~ and dynamic recreation program. Auxiliary purpo:tes under this proronal will bei 1. The development of rieasurable.otiiect•ives that will be used to determine the s»ccess of the program now, and in the future. 7, To increase the understanding of participants that as work becomes less central, leisure quality and results are important (skill ac-. quisition and attitude). 3. To develop a qualitative and quantitative ' summer program that can be adapted by recreation depnrtmcitts across the nation, Through use of playground sites, the program wtll be aimed at the youth of Dcrttoli AS well as their families, with an emphasis on reaching; the total population while developing an individual'e leisure identity. The proposal is tentntivoly scheduled to begin in early June and end the last week of July.

To help participants to understand that leisure can j occur at any time as gall as be identified in'toany I forms (work or play), J , VIII1 To promote the program through advertisement, insur- ing its publicity in the immediate area and as a 12 foundation for national coverage. t I 'i;A T t -3- RATIONALE AND APPROACIIFS The use of themes to promote programming is by no means a new concept, Despite the traditignal use of themes, their use in expanding interests and increasing understandin still is valid. The use of themes, howaVer,, to promote leisure (earning and understanding is a new concept, and one which can be quite effective in prompting better use of one's leisure time in : todays society, especially the youth, j To come up with nes,i innovations-in playground programmingg is € not to develop new ideas, but,to approach old ones in a differ- ent and unique way. The use of magic and new games, though + recent developments in the recreation field, are really taking t old ideas and adding a new twist. New games are really old games with a "all can succeed approach," while magic is older i than the recreation field itself. Their use to lead partici- pants into a leisure learning experience is similar to teaching an old dog new tricks. This is especially true for the "theme" concept, As examples of ways in which themes can be utilized to achieve learning, some approaches to the objectives stated previously will be examined, { ^ Objective number five is to understand the significant impact that leisure time had, has and will have on society,'' This objective could be achieved Y th a-themme entitled "Erns," The program would include a series-of eras where the leisure purspits of past eras are experienced by the participants, with the experience going as far as the dress worn during these time periods. An example of past-loisure effects on an era may be the Roman period (public baths around the pool, I visits to the Pompeii or other availably exhibitions), or the Creek period (dance, enactment of Olympic games). The present era could be represented by the new games concept and the non-competitive approach to-sports. The future era could be j explored by means of acting out pro)ections by futurist Alvin i Toffler, that leisure fantasy trips a available at will, (Moto: A to pa of a fantasy trip is already available at North Texas, as well as a source person for more information.) Another example of a theme approach to the stated objectives is a "World" theme to achieve objective number six. What better way.to understand, the array of vaiusble opportunities available in leisure time than to visit a different country every week. Participants would not only learn of the different leisure i raditions and pasttimes but also a little bit of geography and history as well. This could be promoted by having different playgrounds represent different countries or by rotating the countries around to the various parks with specialized staff i • -T~ - 14 ~I some stood members m,1y take Crnuid,t and Ftcxtco ,js their spccinity, others Germany and Frarice , etc.), The training of tide staff would be nn impor.t,~nt part Ill presenting this theme.. As a final theme example, participants could he taught to develop an understanding that leisure can occur nt any time or in many form by using a movie theme. Acting; out a movie which views lei;;Ure in a different light, or perhaps even t showing that movie at night, would visually illustrate leisure's diversity as well. as providing the enjoyment of acting or viewin,; the movie, One example may he Walt Disney's Snow White, where after filming, the sort';'Vhistle While'You Work" iTai;T` many participants' ears. The leader then i]ttujtrates,that work can be a leisure experience, and perhaps furthers this by getting the kids on a playground to pick up the trash in the form of & game o a sung, The availability of such films, however, would depend on the media services available. If films could be obtained, the Civic Center would provide an ideal location for showing the films, Another approach may be simply the adaptation of the nevi games concept to help participants achieve personal satisfaction 02). Included are such games where everyone is supposed to score only one ral (therefore teammates must. help others score), or individual s-+lf-Lest activities where all reach their limits, though each persons limits are different. Also such activities as blind man trails (dependence on others) and trust games, if presented properly, could help to develop problem solving and i decision making; {q4), As you can see, the idea of themes and new games, though not new, can be adapted to develop a new, fresh, and Invigorating summer program for all involved, not to mention the leisure i learning benefits,. These themes and games could all be drafted ' en a two month calendar before the summer 'program begins, so that leaders could be trained in special areas and events, fil.tns ordered or prepared in advance, and the budget estimated to a close proxiurlCy of the actual costa, i j A key step, however, to the success of the program would be the truinin of tho staff members in the Leisure Education Program, tit, the mportance lies not in the activities themselves but t1►'e appproach used to explore these activities.

These objectives, if achieved, stlould establish the Farlcs and Recreation llepartment of Denton-as a forerunner in plnyrroVnd progratrnoinp, in municipal recreation. } I, To design a manual describing; tho program's purpose and objectives, as well as measurable activities used in the evaluation of both skill acquisition and attitude changes. The rni:ual shall also be designed as a guide; for futura reference. + II. -To enable participants to appreciato the use of ' leisure time (discretionar time) as at, avenua for j personal 'satisfaction and life enrichment, •III. To help participants to appreciate the natural re- sources and their relationships to 'discretionary tide and the quality of lifo. IV, to eliuble participants to understand the value of j • g+lnnninS„ g~roblem solving;' and decision snaking regard- ng one} s leisure behavior. V. To help pparticipants to understand tha significant impact teat leisure time had, }jas, and will have on society, I YI.• To helpp participants to understand the array of valuable opportunities available in leisure time, VII, To help participants to understand that loisur•e can occur at any time is %rell as be identified Winany forms.(work or ploy). i VIII, To promote the proggram through advertiscrrent', insur- ing;'its publicity in the irm+udiate area end as a foundation for national coverage. i I i I I : ' I RATIONALE. AND APPROACHES The use of themes to promote progrnsrming is by no inenns a slew concept, ner.pite the traditional use of thcmeo, their use in expanding interests and increasing understanding atilt is valid. The use of themes, however, to promote leisure learning and understanding is a new concept, and ore which can be quite effective in promptin better use of one's leisure time in todays society, especially the youth. To come up with new innovations'in playgeound•progrnmming is not to develop new ideas, butrto approach old ones in a differ- ent and unique way. The use of magic and new games, though recent,dcvclopMc-%its•in the recreation field; are really taking old ideas and adding a new twist. New dames are really old Bames with a all can succeed approach,' while magic is older than the recreation field itself, Their use to lead partici- pants into a leisure learning experience is-similar to teaching an old dog new tricks. This is especially true for the "theme" concet, As examples of ways in which themos can b'e utilized to acFievr. learning., soma approaches to the ob)ectives stated previously will be examined. f Objective number five is to understand tho'si.gnificant• Impact that leisure time had, has and will have on society," This objective could be achieved with a theme entitled "Eras." The program would include a serios of eras where the leisure pursuits of past ores are experienced by the participants, with the experience going as far as the dross worn during,, these time periods., An example of past' leisure effects on an era may be the Roman period (public baths around the pool, visits to the Pompeii or other availablg exhibitions), or the Creek period (dance, enactment of Olympic games), The present era could be represented by the new games concept and the non-competitive approach to sports, The future era could be explored L,y means of acting out projections byy futurist Alvin Toffler, that leisure fantasy trips be available at will. Texas, as well as a sourceYpersonifor.moroyinformation,) North Another example of a theme approach to the stated, objectives is a "World" theme to achieve objective number six, What better way to understand the array of valuable opportunities available , In loisisre time than to visit a different country every week. Participants would not only learn of the different leisure y traditions and pasttimee but also a little bit of geo;raphy and history as well. This could be promoted by having different playgrounds represent different countries or by rotatinp, the countries around to the various parks with specialized staff , 7 (i. osome ato,ff members, may take Ctu1;1(1a and Mexico ns thair sppecialty, others Gor,r,any and t~rancc, utc,), Tho training of tl1e staff would he an important part in presenting this theme. As a final theme example, participants could bu taught to develop an understanding that leisure can occur nt any time or in many formes by using a movie themo. Acting out a movie I I which views leisure in a different light, or perhaps even i showing that movie at night, would visually illustrate leisure's diveruity as well as providing the enjoyment of acting or viewini; the movie. One example may be WnI t gisnay'ts Snnn, White where after filming, the son,,' Whistle While.

Also such activities as blind man trails (dependence on others) and trust games,•if , presented properly, could help to develop problein solving and , j " decision makint; (4). I As you can see, the idea of themes end new games, though not now, can be adapted to develop a new, fresh, and invigorating r summer program for all involved, not to mention the leisure learning benefits,. These themes and games could all be drafted on a two month calendar before the summer prot;rari begins, so j that leaders could be trained in special, areas and events, filing ' ordered or prepared in advance, and the budget: estimated to a Close proxiuiiLy of the actual costs, A key step, hnwover, to the success of the program would be the training of the staff members in the Leisure tit, the imr ortnnce Education program, ~ p lies not in the activities es themselves, but 012 approach used to explore these activities, This training.

Chris Hartung ; April 3, 1979 Page Two -2- There are several courses of action that could be taken on Malone Street. ' We could condemn the west side of Malone and construct the sidewalk and deal with people on the east side and construct sidewalk there also. The sidewalk could be eliminated on the west side from Broadway to Scripture and we could construct the east side only, since these owners seem more receptive to a walk on their side or we could discontinue the walks on both t 1 sides. At this time, I would have to recommend that walk be built on at ; least one side of Malone. In this southern area of Malone it is difficult 11 to determine where the pedestrian traffic is being generated. If the side- walk was constructed on the east side we would be providing a minimum of safe pedestrian movement from Scripture to Malone, which is essential. On McCormick Street there are only two alternatives, either construct the walk from 1-35 to Willowwood or eliminate it. Since Woody seems to be encountering rather difficult problems with these land owners and since the number of pedestrians is very small, it might be feasible to eliminate this section of walk. We have been advised by the Police Department that + due to the lack of students crossing at I-35, there is no longer a crossing guard at this point. review e and o cormen{ would like a to presentd these drawings thof each e Council e for h their are ~I I ti i i 1 4 I s 3 4 I yi i c 1 +ea ~ F V~ R d ~ EA3kE _ wILS WIRE o{ 1711 INARGie w Cf?L0NS L vJ Q UNOERMf d x ILI 1 n RRECNLEE ONE OWNS ~ N NtGtI AND i, PARX I8 r9 c.
