units, a restaurant and lounge, a sidewalk cafe, swimming pool club, health
spa with racquetball courts, putting course, shuffle board courts as well

will be built around a central atruim. The location is at Laura Street and
Greenwood Avenue, convenient to downtown with many desirable amenities
such as closed circuit TV security, carports, etc. A rendering of the

The proposal has been reviewed by staff and found to be consistent
with the downtown development plan. Preliminary review indicates no
problems with respect to existing zoning and land use regulations.

Inc., and to name that firm developer for the proposed project and that
the appropriate officials be authorized to execute same. Motion was
duly seconded and carried unanimously.
