EXHIBIT "A" File No. R-29-66
FINDINGS:
Very little of the existing RML zone along 196th Street S. W. is
developed for apartments. The proposed RML area extends northward to
a degree that it cannot be considered as conforming to the Comprehensive
Plan designation for multi -family use. The rezoning would not serve
any useful purpose and would add to the noise and traffic problems
of the area. Many local residents strongly oppose the proposal and
believe that such development would reduce the quality of their
aingle family area.
EXHIBIT "B"
The East 1/2 of the SW 1/4 of SW 1/4 of the SE 1/4 of Sec. 18, T27N, R4E,
W.M., also known as Lots 19 and 20, Maplewood Gardens according to
unrecorded plat thereof.
