FJith the aid of the viewgraph, Nr. Luce pointed out that it is proposed to rezone the property so as to pro- vide parking facilities for a Perkins Steak & Cake House, owners of which are executing a thirty year lease for the property. Rezoning of this property is necessary to provide parking facilities in accordance with the Zoning Ordinance. I&. Luce explained that it is hoped that by the time the lease expires, tech- nology and/or land values will make it feasible to construct an eight story apartment building on the Southerly portion of the land, thus eliminating the need for the previously requested R-5 zoning on the Northerly portion of tk property. zoning for the Northerly portion of the property had been denied by Council about two years ago.

Mr. Harry Gustafson, attorney representing the Hallas and Perkins, confirmed that a thirty year lease had been signed, subject to zoning approval.
