<br /> "At its regular monthly meeting, on December 1, 1970, the City Planning Commission reviewsd the revised
<br />site plan for a~ 64 unit group housing project in Merrifields.
<br />
<br /> Several years ago, it was decided that a transition between the high surburban value of l~errzf~elds, and
<br />the comparative low economic value of the Twin Pines community, (with its origins in the last century) should
<br />be authorized.
<br />
<br /> Originally, the concept centered on possible duplex housing but the developer feels inclind~ today to
<br />rental garden apartments.

<br />
<br /> Some time ago, Mi. Victor Haynes, representing our organization, spoke to the Council about a long, deep,
<br />and hazardous ditch between Merrifields and Twin Pines. The City Manager instituted an engineering and cost
<br />study which elicited the information that it would cost about $68,000. to enclose this ditch. The City Council
<br />agreed to continue their interest in this ppecific project.
