Minutes of previous meeting read and approved.
The Mayor mentioned that he had talked with Loren Saunders in the matter of the
parcel of land known as the Dowdle Saunders Annexation.
Mr. Saunders introduced his representative, DwSght Sickle, Attorney; Terril Howard,
Willard Bill Bethel
Mr. Saunders explained the reasons for his desire to convert to condomeniums, his
apartment development at Broadway and West 8th Street.
Mr. Saunders claimed that his representatives had come before the City Clerk and
had been told that they had no problem in doing what they desired.
Terrill D. Howard of American Realty stated that about August he had come to the
City of Meridian to prepare this project. They knew that they did not have
water meters and were prepared to put water meters to each unit. They talked to
the City Clerk at that time and explained what they wanted to do and asked what
they had to do to get approval. They were told what was to be done to get owner
occupied rather than rental and that this would nat involve arW conflict with the
City and did not change the Zoning.
They talked to the PUC and were told there would be no problem.
Phill Pethel, American Realty, in dealing with the City understood that Costswould
be borne by the developer.
Mr. Saunders secured financing and was ready to proceed.
They offered the tenants first option to buy but they moved out and left the
property vacant.
The Title Company thought that the supporting documents were sufficient for the
sale of the property.
Mr. Saunders sent a letter to all of the Council.
Mr. Saunders stated that the City Clerk had told him that they was no meeting until
the 6th of March.
He called the City Clerk but was told that he was not on the Agenda. Mr. Sauhders
called Mr. Williams to tell him why he had not attended the meeting.
Mr. Saunders stated that the City and Attorney had told him that there were no
sewer problems because the installation had been completed prior to 1975•
Mr. Saunders explained to the Council the reason why he had not appeared before the
Council at the February 21st meeting. This appeared to be a breakdown of communi-
cations or misunderstanding among those concerned.
He mentioned that he had additional land to the west of this parcel adjoining West 8th
and Broadway. He has no intention of including this parcel in this proposal.
Mr. Saunders requested that this proposal be changed under the condominium act, to
allow him to proceed with his plan. They are prepared to comply with any of the
requirements of the City.
Carl Ellsworth stated that JUB had reviewed the plat and checked it out.
They had made notes mainly on the technical aspect and meeting of state codes
and ordinances.
Mr. Williams stated that what bothered him was that the City made no commitment&
Mr. Williams read from the letter written by Mr. Saunders to the Council (letter on
file with these minutes -Page 2) though no formal ruling was sought or given,
those involved could see no particular problem since the use was not changing -
only the ownership, with the assurance and a brief study of the condominium act, he
felt secure in going ahead with the idea.
Mr. Williams stated that he does not see that the City has made any commitment.
It was never platted and was annexed by metes and bounds. One person could perhaps
buy the whole thing.

Mr. Ellsworth stated this is part of the West Lawn Subdivision, and legal description
was annexed to the City, being proposed in platting that portion of ground which
involves the apartments or condominiums.
Mr. Crookston stated that he had met with these developers and did not find
anything wrong with the declarations themselves in the variances but there
appeared to be some problems with the City in the matter of falling within the
Subdivision Ordinances of the City.
Mr. Crookston stated further that he would review in relation to the declaration
that might involve the City and come up with an opinion if that was the course of
action required.
The matter involving new ownership was a declaration involving Sanitary restrictions
which could be involved at this time.
Discussion of Common Wall.
Mr. Saunders stated that he could put a wall between these units if it was necessary
but this did not seem necessary because the present wall is of cinder block type
installation.
Attorney for Mr. Saunders, Dwight Bickle,had talked to Mr. Fitzgerald. due to
time pressure of the matter that this could be approved contingent to meeting
the problems of the Engineers, that the question of Sanitary restriction be
resolved, declaration of convenants be granted without any additional land annexed
along with this proposal without City Approval.
Mr. Williams asked Mr. Schoen what problems he could see involving the building
codes.
Mr. Schoen stated that a double wall with 1 hour fire protection is necessary.
Cinder block seems to provide additional protection but that he did not know what
the statutes specify.
Mr. Glaisyer stated that the City is not here to make or break a developer, as far
as money is concerned, but he felt that Mr. Saunders should consider what he said
about talking to the City Clerk.
He felt that the City should be cautious in setting up a precedent, if this matter
is approved, for other duplexes located throughout the City.
This was zoned for 4-Plex and Duplexes at that time.
Mr. Bodine felt the same way as the preceeding discussion.
Mr. Kingsford stated that the thing that concerned him was the precident that
could be set. He did not see how this could be approved without the same
consideration being given to other multiplex.
The Mayor stated that he felt that this was a little different situation. Other
duplex structures are located on Subdivision lots.
Mr. Williams stated that he has mixed feelings in this matter.
The adjoining property is to be considered under the same policy that might be
set here.
He is concerned about the piece meal breakup of apartment houses that might be
presented within a Subdivision of residential area. If a duplex cannot be sold
then the idea of making it designated as a Condominium presents itself.
Mr. Crookston stated that Ordinances prohibit these divisions.
A represent4ve of this proposal stated that the concept of the Condominium is
that the owner, owns the air space within the walls plus an interest in the
balance of the surrounding land.
This is a manner of providing ownership without being involved in large land
costs involved in most Subdivisions.
The Mayor complemented Mr. Saunders for the building of these apartments in
this area which was a low land area infested with weeds at that time.
Mr. Kingsford asked the question of whether Mr. Saunders owns any of the
surrounding buildings other than this multiplex building. This building site is
all he owns in this area.
Mr. Saunders stated that his 12 units lend themselves to condominium development
and would like to have his proposal approved.

Mr. Saunders again remarked that the City Clerk had told them there would be no
problem.
Mr. Bodine asked Mr. Saunders if this could have been a misunderstaning at that time.
The City Clerk responded at this time to the remarks of the developer that he
had said back in August, 1977 that this proposal would encounter no problems, that
there had to be a misunderstanding by stating that he had been here long enough
to know that he would not have told these developers that they could convert to
condominium. He talked about the water meters, about the common walls but would
not have known at that time enough about Condominiums to have told them they had
no problem. They might have felt that they had no problems but as City Clerk he
would not have been able to tell them they had no problems.
Mr. Bodine stated that he felt that the City Clerk had been here a long time and
that there might have been a misunderstanding but he felt that the City Clerk
would not have told them to go ahead as though it was approved.
The Mayor called for a voice vote on this matter.
Kingsford Dis approve or Against
Williams Approve or For
Glaisyer Die approve or Against
Bodine Disapprove or Against
The Mayor then said "Gentlemen that is it" and the delegates left at this time.
Mr. Hudson and Robert Mitich were present.
Robert Mitich, Meridian Stowage, requested a variance for a small shop in the
Hudson -Mitch Annexation along Linder, south of Pine.
He desired to be released from the responsibility of placing a 100 water main
as required in this area for his proposal.
The small shop policies require that they carry this line accross their property.
Mr. Welker stated that this storage area that is there now is without water for
fire protection.
How far down the line should these variances be allowed before requiring them to
place this line as has been required in annexations for fire protection.
Mr. Hudson stated that as he builds his larger structures he can then afford to
place the 10" water line. He has enough water on his own line to supply the small
facilities that will be placed there. At the most, he thinks that placing the
water line half way would satisfy his present needs and let the later developers
place the balance of the line when they are ready.
The Mayor stated that ordinances require the water be placed there now all the
way across his property which Mr. Hudson says is approximately 900 feet.
Mr. Williams stated that it is the policy to cause developers to come to the
City Water and Sewer and to carry their services across their property.
Joseph Glaisyer abstained because his firm finances this project.
Marvin Bodine has mixed emotions, but would vote no. He feels that what
the Fire Chief says about water for fire protection should be recognized.
Roll call
Bodine No
Kingsford No
William& No (And is in favor of the City policy)
Glaisyer Abstained
Mr. Ellsworth stated the City policy calls for placing the water line by
the developer. If the developer does not do this who will place this line.
The matter of reinbursement to developer came up again. Mr. Ellsworth stated
that money that came in now is pledged to pay for Bond Redemption and
maintenance and operation. It would be difficult to take funds out.
Mr. Orton reported that the City policy was the requiring of lines being
placed by the developer, when he was the reprensentive of the consulting
engineers in the proper size, as engineered for future development.

The Mayor stated that fire hydrants are needed in addition to the water lines
in this area as well as all developments.
Mr. Hudson was told that he could not build without the City water line in place
as well as the dry line sewer ready for connedtion when the new sewer line is
placed.
Paul Stephenson, Father, and LaMar Stephenson, son, a Scout who desires to have a
Community Project, were present to present a proposal of $1500.00 worth of trees
and shrubs for the park. They would like to furnish the trees and shrubs and
plant them in the Meridian Park.
It was pointed out that the City would need to know what kLAd of trees, and where
they are needed.
The Mayor stated that the City does not have a plan yet but would like to let
them help with this program.
Mr. Ellsworth stated that they have in their expertise, to prepare a landscaping
plan for the City. This could be prepared in a few weeks.
The Motion was made by Richard Williams and seconded by Marving Bodine
that the City accept the offer of LaMar Stephenson and that a plan be developed
by the City Engineer to assist in placement of shrubs at the Meridian Park.
Motion passed: Williams, yea; Kingsford, yea; Bodine, yea; Glaisyer, yea.
Lloyd Cook was present, living at 204 E. Franklin, to ask•for a variance set back
on Williams street for 5' closer to property line.
The Motion was made by Marvin Bodine and seconded by Richard Williams that this
5 foot variance on Williams Street be allowed for Lloyd Cook at 204 E. Franklin Street.
Motion passed: Williams, yea; Kingsford, yea; Bodine, yea; Glaisyer, yea.
Mr. Orton of Tudor Engineers presented the proposal of removal of the water tank
and tower to be taken down and placed by the Desert View Water Corporation,
by Gary Cullip, President.
Mr. Orton requested that the City accept the offer given:
1. Waive the $50,000.00 performance Bond requirement they intend to prepare
a performance bond but not this high.
2. Will give the $250,000.00 liability insurance coverage for damage
Work will be done on week ends, possibly two, and possibly removed within
six weeks.
3. Will tie up the line ends in 30 days
4. Will give a time schedule by that time for completion of projects
The Motion was made by Marvin Bodine And seconded by Richard Williams that the
City accept the Desert View offer to remove the water tower and that the City Attorney
and the City Engineer make arrangements with those developers of Desert View Water
Corporation and that an agreement be signed by the parties concerned upon completion
by the Engineers.
Motion passed: Williams, yea; Kingsford, yea; Bodine, yea; Glaisyer, yea.
The Mayor brought up the Smiths Food King request for a variance from the request
for a 30' strip to the South of this building to 20.0.
Earl Grossaint, representing Smith's Food King, stated that any additional set-
back taken removes the building size which ewer the years represents sales space
loss amount to approximately $69000.00 per year, which would extend and be
projected on all the years to come.
Mr. Welker, Fire Chief, stated that the Fire Department could work with a 25' area
but 30' would be better.
Mr. Green needs to get around the buildings and the variance would not effect his
efficiency in patrolling for police protection.
The Motion was made by Richard Williams and seconded by Grant Kingsford that the
City approve the set back for the Smith Food King to 26.4 feet for access at Gruber
Street off East 2)z Street.
Motion passed: Williams, yea; Kingsford, yea; Glaisyer,, yea
Bodine, Abstained.

Mr. Williams explained the pump at the Golf Course. This involved an agreement with
the Idaho Power for Mr. Leavitt to pay the costs of installation of $4,829.00. The
other is an agreement with the Idaho Power that the City agrees to use a certain
amount of power for this pump.
Mr. Crookston stated that he had examined this agreement and feels that the owner of
the land should sign the agreement. The City would assume this agreement when they
owned this land. He felt that Nu Pacific wants the City to be bound by this contract
to perform.
Mr. Crookston felt the obligation is, and should be, borne by the land owner Nu Pacific.
He felt that the contract should be signed by NuPacific who is the owner.
It was recommended by the Council that this matter be tabled pending the review of this
matter by the City Attorney and the Idaho Power.
Carl Ellsworth reported that in reference to Sewer line improvement project Phase III,
all easements have been signed. Mr. Ellsworth also announced that the date of April 3rd
1978 is set for bid openings.
Mr. Ellsworth continued by discussing the matter of Mr. Howe desiring access for his
property lying in the vicinity of James Court Annexation. The City is planning a
roadway to link up Meridian Street and Locust Grove. The City cannot make an actual
commitment but will make every effort to avoid land -locking his land or any other lands.
Mr. Ellsworth announced that a water main burst during the Phase II construction in the
Meadowview #2 Annexation causing lack of water to the Meadowview #1 Subdivision for
several hours.
Another line was laid to another existing line to restore service this line will remain
as an additional or a loop water flow for this area after the broken line is restored
by the contractor.
Mr. Ellsworth continued by reporting that involving Phase II Sewer Line Construction, a
problem of water line in the Meadowview #2 Annexation, is being resolved. So that
Meadowview #1 can be supplied water service a new line is now laid to correct a break
in the original line by the contractor.

Mr. Williams complemented the Work's Department and the Engineers in the Quick repair of
the problem when the line burst some time ago, as well as the rapid notification of
the people informing them of the loss of water flow.

Mr. Ellsworth presented a matter at the Sewer Plant under the Waste Treatment
Plant Project.Contractor is needing a bid for a lawn mower for the Sewer Plant.
and would like for the City to select the mower that they would like to have.
It was thought that the John Deere would work out the best for repair or
maintenance over the long haul. The Fagineer is to notify them of this choice.
A mower at the Golf Course needs to be provided. An exchange for the City Park,
Sewer Plant and Golf Course might be considered.
The Golf Course expenses were discussed.
The Engineer, Mr. Ellsworth was notified about a leak in the 12" water line on
Meridian Street. It was announced that Idaho Construction has been notified.
Mr. Ellsworth announced that Mr. Kent Ellis has playground equipment for the park
that can be installed. The City will need to make decision concerning this,
anything over $59000.00 needs to be bid.
He has a package of playground equipment of $10,000.00. This could be split up in
increments. A fence is needed around the grounds at the park. This was discussed.
The seeding remains to be completed at the Park. :Covered over shade hutches were
mentioned for the park.
It was noted as a concern•as to how to keep vehicles off the park and sprinkler heads.
There was concern about Hon property having cattle. The only fence along the
East line of the park would be an electric fence that is illegal.
It was thought that cattle should not be kept on Mr. Hon's land to the East.
Livestock is prohibited in the City. This land was a commercial parcel as
requested by the owner at time of annexation.
It was thought that the Western Ada Recreation District should be contacted again
for financial participation for the development of the park and purchase of a
lawnmower.

Meridian City Hall .10. March 6, 1978
Lift Stations are being installed. Three (3) in Cherry Lane Village and possibly
one more. Mr. Ellsworth stated there is a major lift station required for the
Cherry Lane Village that will be a long term to permanent installation as a 15"
sewer line major lift station. The cost of maintaining permanent lift stations
were discussed as the costs being borne by the user.
The Mayor stated that it is not right for all the people to pay for this lift
station.
Mr. Shults stated that the new Sludge truck is needed at the sewer plant to haul
the liquid sludge from the drying beds.
It was noted that any damage to the truck must be repaired
when the plant is completed before putting this truck into service at the new plant.
Mr. Ellsworth, the Engineer, is waiting for a letter from FRA stating approval for
the use of this truck at the present plant.
This sludge can be used at the park if the sprinkler head can be avoided.
Vernon Schoen, Building Inspector, reported only three to four Building Permits
issued in 1978. This indicates a slow rate of growth and is a concern for the
City because lose in hook-up and monthly payment monies into the water sewer
enterprises funds to pay maintenance and operation and payment of bonds and interest.
Franklin Square that has been approved in its final plat by the Meridian Zoning
Commission was discussed as to whether it should be approved. There is also a
problem concerning the sewer lines that will be necessary from this Subdivision
which may require easements to reach trunk_lines under the Project plans.
Bruce Stuart asked the status of water specifications for developers. These could
be rather detailed.
Mr. Ellsworth replied that specifications should be as brief as possible but
cover all aspects.
There are minimum standards that must be maintained.
It is hoped that procedural process proposals will come in the near future to
inform developers of their requirements without the necessity of reading the codes
to each one as they come. Ordinances could involve many booklets as hand outs.
Mr. Stuart reported that Surface Well located on East 2nd Street, Well #29 is
filled with sand. He will get a bid for repair and will present bid later.
Mr. Green remarked about litter blowing from the school on to the Kiser property
and other properties around the High School. He presented pictures to provide
visual evidence concerning this.
The Mayor will contact the School Supt. to attempt to correct this matter.
There should be a way to instill pride in the school to avoid this, the other
schools in town do not look this way.
The City Attorney brought up the matter of the easements for the project being
allowed $10.00. It was thought that these people involved in these easements
should be paid the $10.00 token fee.
The Engineer stated that a list could be available at the next Council meeting.
Mr. Crookston, Attorney, discussed an easement for West Steel through Capital
Securities. These easements are involved in a construction easement on the
property being acquired by Dale Fisher for West Steel. He will proceed with
this easement.
Mr. Crookston reported concerning the adoption of a Moratorium under the Planning Act
There on two courses of action.
1. Short term is to issue notice based upon a finding of injurious to
Health and Welfare - this is good for 120 days.
2. Comprehensive Plan
Notice of hearing 15 days prior to hearing notices injurious to Health
and Welfare of the City - this finding can extend as long as is appropriate.
Meridian City Hall .11. March 6, 197$
Steve Gratton felt that the Planning and Zoning Commission should be consulted
when policies are made by the Council on so grave an issue on declaring a
Moratorium on Annexation and Zoning. He felt that some members of the Commission
were not ready for this type of action.
Mr. Williams discussed the growth and development of parcels.
There are 100 or more lots in approved Subdivisions. Last year there were five (5)
Building permits issued; in 15 months the City has issued seven (7).
He felt that the Planning and Zoning should not be inundated with proposals to
finalize, at least for the next 4 or 5 months. The time frame the community plans
without problem is the last of June.
There are many problems not covered by Ordinance at this time, these problems
now would come under old Ordinances. Items coming up should be addressed under
new Ordinances formed by the present studies.
Mr. Glaisyer stated that he made the motion concerning the termination of Annexation
and re -zoning. He did not have time at the moment to consult with the Planning and
Zoning. He felt also that the Planning and Zoning should be consulted.
The Mayor thought that there would not be too much building until the end of the year
due to the lack of sewer availability.
There was a feeling in the Council meeting that representatives of the Planning and
Zoning should attend Council meeting.
Mr. Williams stated that this Moratorium did not need to be extended too long and
could be cancelled at any time.
Mr. Glaisyer stated that he was not for stopping growth.
He wants to see orderly growth and planned growth, and good growth.
Mr. Williams stated that the City needs internal procedures, you cannot do planning
when you are constantly assaulted by minimum lot size and all the other variances
required as well as deciding annexation problems, and final plat problems.
Mr. Bodine stated that he did not feel that there was enough time to study the
proposals that are presented.
Mr. Williams stated that Developers look at the Community Planning and the attitudes
they display toward development, what their future plans are, can they live with
the community future plans. They will back off from a hodge-podge planning in a
community.
Mr. Bodine suggested that an agenda be prepared prior to the meeting time.
The Mayor stated that he did the best he could to prepare an agenda.
There being no other business to come before the Council the meeting stood adjourned.

Because we received your application for electrical
service dated Pu�*nst 30� 1977 prior to December 29, 1977, we will
connect electrical service covered by that application. However,
we have been advised by our legal counsel to advise you that
Idaho Public Utilities Commission Case No U-1006-124 and Idaho
Fourth District Court Case No 62237 may require -the Idaho Power
Company to contest your right to divert water from the Snake
.River or its surface or subterranean tributaries because it
would cause a depletion of water which is subject to the prior
water rights of the Company.
This letter shall constitute official notice tq.you
that even though you have requested electrical service, you may
have a water right inferior to the water rights of the Idaho
Power Company and your water diversion could be enjoined in its
entirety by a court or agency of competent jurisdiction. Neither'
this letter Tor the electrical service connection shall in any
respect be deemed a waiver by the Idaho Power Company of its
right to contest your water right, or any of the other rights of
the Idaho Power Company.

The electric service agreement which you have signed contains
the following provision:
"It is understood and agreed that the initial
date of delivery of power and energy under this
agreement is subject to the Company's ability to
obtain required labor, materials, equipment, satis-%
factory rights-of-way and comply with governmental
regulations."
This provision was included in the agreement to cover any time
lags in providing electric service that may occur due to delays in obtain-
ing permission to construct lines or obtain necessary materials and equip-
ment. With the existing governmental regulations, obtainment of"governmental
right-of-way is becoming more difficult and the time required for such obtain-
ment has been greatly extended.
Idaho Power Company will not be in a position to execute this
electric service agreement until right-of-way has been obtained and the
Company is assured that it can obtain all necessary materials and equipment.

Dear Mr. Cox:
Enclosed please find a brief outline of the circum-
stances surrounding my request for converting Broadway
Estates Apartments to Broadway Estates Condominiums.
Your careful study would be appreciated and if you have
any questions, please feel free to call me concerning them
at 888-2131.
Since outlining the attached summary, I have heard from
the condominium consulting firm which is sending me some
information on how other cities have approached this
situation. I'll forward a cgpy of this correspondence
as soon as it arrives, which should be by Tuesday, Feb. 14th.

INP'URNAT CON FOR MERMAN CITY C UMCIT,
coop Il'.,. F3 nro l'h 1 • /A'I T CON `C 1 r7T1111P
In ton following page;, I've: outlined briefly and as
factually as possihle the reason, and procedures we took before
ana after starting the condominium -conversion idea.
I was c<acernal that the realtors who initiated the idea had
proceeded without a thorough examination of any legal problems
related to such a conversion, but I'm convinced now that they did
follow a sensible course and did not knowingly sidestep any
government ordinances or regulations. They knew there would be
considerable expense to me and therefore tried in every way to
proceed correctly.
This is a now experience for everyone involved. In fact,
it's fairly new to the area. ftonover, these conversions are
wide-sprund enoagh that some st,G'jc� have writ -ten into their laws
specific regulations governin! then procedures to he taken. At
this time, there is even a uniform condominium act being drafted
which is endorsed by many of the states. In the act, there is
a sect -ion concerning conversions of existing structures to
concomin_iums .
One important consideration of this section of the act is
to protect the tenahts from unfair eviction from apartments prior
to their 5ai e as condominiums. The procedures we followed were
very fair to our renters in that we gave them first option to
purchase and those who found other apartments prior to living
out their paid root were refunded all deposits and unused rent.
Since the last city council meeting, I have sought the
services of a consulting firm which has been involved in similar
situates. I'm hoping they can supply helpful information
which I will pass on to you for study prior to the next council
meeting.
This property has been on^the market for approximately
three years. At one time I had it sold as separate units of two
duplexes and two fourplexes, but because of their placement and
legal description problems, the lenders and.title insurers
could not accept the arrangement. The entire complex has been
sold, but each time financing, interest rates, and other; factors
have prevented closing any sales. Every effort to move the property
has failed.
In discussing these pr.ohla,ms with a mortgage broker, he
-I 1-essted the .-i.cominlur,--corv(:rsion idea, saying that it is
I done in n;any areas and is a solution to the difficult
fir inc; nq _isnd sales �rr�-�hlcm.
At this ti -me, whiC1 arni.-oximately August 1977, Mr.
Terrill 'dcward and Mr., willirim Fr,thel from American Realty, the
l.i.stin.c? .gent, visited City ball in Meridian and talked over the
_de -a with city personnel.
Though no forrna.l naling was sought or given those involved
soul see no par _iou_ar nro� ems since Tie use was not changing --
on ownerships, hli_th this assurance and a brief study
cf tl:e condorru_niur❑ act, we felt s( -?cure in going ahead with the
idea.
At that time ;.°e thought Ci,:rlher involvement with the city
a
he ,wore in co;iplying with formalities rather then solving any
variance problems. If we had kn()-.vn or anticipated any serious
proble�2s, we would have sought Ilieir solution at that ,time prior
to incl m ing any u..penses related to this conversion attempt.
The next steT.we took was to obtain financing.ur first
effort was with Mr._George Sand(-rs of the n_egional (HA office.
tior!�I d with I -se pn ople for r-)prc)timately two monfhs, They
sued and ox'--�-inojd th buildings and found that -they =met�their

Soon after this sethsick we acquired 90 percent conventional
financing and within a few days after they hid been put on the market,
all the uni.#-s were sold. At this time, only one unit is available
nd _.gat is bec ',!se some orighaal 1_)nyers di.d not qualify finan-
cially.
The goneral layout ccrostraict_ion and location of the building
na -i.ze lend t' -.e proj,_ct f[avo?-cal:al.y to this conversion and it does
solve tiie financing and sale problera without changing the present
use.
;hen nrigii illy c(-nstru,-:trd, nil reiruir_ements were met to

to
T feel the r-cnversion Id provide the fo]lowing advan-

2. The g_ ral appear;31--ce, up},cep, -._d care of the

4. This is providing "Por. Sale Housing" in
a r(,c_�--:,-d and reason.tT)le price range. The -rapid
sale o these i_ini_ts bears this out.
Zf a coodit"_onal r.s pe,rmit nr variance is required to permit

Also, if the advantagc-,s ,indica!-cd are valid, then setting
a prr�c,_.', nice in `avor of the con c rsion of a project phis size
could only have Inng-range effects. '
Every step in the pror.:r:ss has been a sincere, honest effort
on sty alf. My re(?;est is that you all -,-.r me to complete the
,-r= r-sion to c>>_domi ii :ins so I close the sales, record the
