They are proposing a 486 unit multiple dwelling area, consisting of 42 unit buildings on the property which has partially been rezoned R-3 by Norbert Conzemius and a part of Bauer's grid Addition which was left open for rezoning for multiple dwelling use. The area is approximately 26.Z7 acres in size and would be fronting on a collector street, Westview Drive on the east, a thoroughfare, Pleasant Drive on the west and the South Frontage Road of T.H. 55 on the north. 13th Street would make up part of the south boundary.

Mr. Wagner also had a handout attached showing the benefit of apartments versus single family development, a land use summary which would indicate the density of 18 apartment units per acre, the parking facility would allow for Z. 1 spaces per nnit.

The A being about 938 square feet, the C unit being 1008 square feet and the B unit made up of an adaptation of the A & C units. There would also be a laundry on each floor of the building. There would be no incineration for solid waste, all would be refuse collection.
