industrial and would be only one block in width. (One side of block town-
houses and the other side two story buildings). Committee has investigated
multi -family now under construction by petitioner and found them acceptable .
from all stand -points. 1e, your Committee on Municipal Development, there-
fore recommend approval of annexation and ordinance to be placed on first
reading. Approval of requested industrial, multi -family and single family
residential zoning upon annexation. Subdivider has agreed to donate four

walk is joined on both sides by 101 sidewalks; that the ex -owner and present
