<br /> 71-72 - "I submit the attached resolution and recommend its adoption. This amends the Crawford Urban
<br />Renewal Project, IfA R-SS pertaining to Parcel 12A and Parcel 5.
<br />
<br /> Parcel 12A is designated as public right-of-way in this urban renewal project. This land lies along
<br />the eastern boundary of a service alley that has been constructed by the City in conjunction with the closing
<br />of King Street for the Edinburgh Square parking lot. The land so dedicated is not now needed; therefore, it
<br />will be incorporated into Parcel 12 to be sold for private development.
<br />
<br /> This resolution amends Parcel S to allow a change in building height from 50 feet to five stor~s and
<br />adequate parking to be provided by the construction of ramp parking.
<br />
<br /> This resolution has been requested by the Housing Authority in order that the bank can proceed with de-
<br />velopment at the corner of High and Crawford Streets and the publicly dedicated right-of-way can be incor-
<br />porated in Parcel 12 and sold for private development."
