Estate shown as Parcel A on the attached, <br />and the other parcel currently zoned R-6 being purchased from Carlson Properties <br />shown as Parcel B on the attached, <br />The City Staff has indicated to us 'that they were very happy to finally see <br />the two parcels tied together, considering the unrelated owners of the two <br />parcels. <br />After considerable study and discussion with the City Staff we have come to <br />the conclusion that the best land use for these two parcels is 2-story rental <br />apartments along with a small office building on Rice Street, rather than our <br />Previously proposed 3-story apartment telex with office building. <br />The topography of the land alo <br />ng with its proximity to Highway 36 does not <br />i lend this site to marketing "For Sale" townhouse or single-family dwellings. <br />We have personally visited with the adjoining property owners and are designing <br />a very attractive 2-story apartment with underground parking complex that takes <br />into account their concerns regarding the height of any proposed structure ob- <br />structing their Southerly views. Our proposed buildings will not block their <br />views. Our architects are in the process of completing all required exhibits <br />and will have them available for the first meeting. <br />
