Resolution No. 246
EXHIBIT "A"
The City Council on June 20, 1967 adopted the recommendations of the Park
Board on the purchase -of waterfront park properties, and authorized the
Mayor to proceed with acquisition and application to the Department of
Housing and Urban Development (H.U.D.) for federal matching funds. Discus-
sions with the City Attorney have indicated that any rezoning is inappro-
priate at this time, as such action may confuse and even.delay legal
proceedings during the property acquisition stage. Since the City has
already initiated action eventually leading to the acquisition of the land,
any rezoning by the City could easily bring the accusation that the City
is attempting to lower the value of the property for later public purchase.
Any court action resulting from such a rezone would probably not be favorable
to the City.
EXHIBIT "B"
That tract of land lying to the east of the Inner Harbor Line, to the West
of the Great Northern Railroad right-of-way, to the north of the south line
of Bell Street extended, and to the south of existing RSW-12 zone which lies
slightly south of Casper Street extended westerly.
