proposed to build on the site, should the City approve same, clearly outlining

and staff as to whether the plan proposed by Mr. Schultz met the minimum require-
ments as set forth in the Building Code for residential purposes. The traffic flow,
and the anticipated future traffic flow, was discussed at this time.
The Director of Public Works stated that the City had approached the previous
owner of the property, Mr. Solomon, some eight to ten years ago with a view to
purchasing the site for use as a crater well, but nothing had transpired as
Mr. Solomon was unable to furnish the deed to the property at that time. He
further stated that Mr. Schultz had contacted the City with a view to selling
the property to them; the City was interested but at the appraised figure of
approximately $8,500. However, Mr. Schultz was requesting,approximately $60,000
for the site. The City had consequently decided not to purchase the site.
