described as the east 491 feet of Tract A, Registered Land Survey

Following a discussion of the application with Mssrs. Wessin
and Bernu, representing the application, Chairman Jensen referred
the matter to the Northwest Neighborhood Committee for comment
before a decision is made. Chairman Jensen also requested the
applicants to consider a mixture of land uses such as R3, R4,

Application No. 69065, taking the application under advisement
