<br />
<br /> 71-194 - "I submit the attached resolution and recommend its adoption. This amends the
<br />Crawford Urban Renewal Project plan with regard to Parcel 11 on the northeast corner of Cour'
<br />and County Streets.
<br />
<br /> The resolution eliminates the maximum building height of 30 feet, and also eliminates
<br />the 20-ft. setback from the easterly property line. The Housing Authority has requested this
<br />amendment as the developer of this property desires to build a multi-story building.
<br />
<br /> The Authority further advises that this will in no way interfere with the use and value
<br />of the surrounding property, or the potential development of the area. Further, the eliminat
<br />of the 20-ft. setback from the easterly property line is justified due to the dedication of
<br />a 5-ft. utility easement and a 2S-ft. paved and curbed access lane adjacent to the eastern
<br />boundary of the parcel."
