Chairman Harris asked if anyone would care to speak in
favor of the rezoning. Mr. Silverman, 4222 Lake Underhill

developers, presented plans for an apartment complex to
be one story and housing seventy -six units, with 60% being
two bedrooms with one and a half baths and 40% being one
bedroom with one bath, price range being $175.00 monthly
for the two bedroom apartments and $145.00 monthly for
the one bedroom apartments. The plans.showed two entrances
and exits for the complex to be at the Southeast corner
of the property on Onora Road and the Northwest corner
of the property on Woodland Drive. Mr. Silverman stated
the complex would be landscaped, fenced and a pool with
recreation facilities provided. Questions were raised
by board members as to the intentions of the developers
regarding the large drainage ditch on the North right of
way on Onora Road. Mr. Zeuli stated he hoped something
could be worked out with the City as to piping and cover-
ing the ditch. Mr. Knowles pointed out that the ditch
should be piped and covered before developed.

Mr. John McDonald -- 102 W. 30th. Street

Mr. William F. Holcomb - 157 Pinecrest Drive
