Richwood Drive, President of the Richmond Hills neighborhood association, spoke
in support of a petition filed in objection to the request of Hr. Ralph Overholt

told the Council that the main objection of the property owners is that the

Highgay No. 169 has not changed the entrance to the Overholt property--and that
this is a ~7ealc excuse for Hr. Overholt to use in making his request. 'Mr. Reinhardt -
also told Council that the Overholt properties are using a part of the street as
a parking lot, and that the promised trees have neverbbeen planted. BIr. Hyde
