Plan.& Zon. Comm. From the Planning & Zoning Committee, May 7th, 1976, recommending
‘App1n. R#4-76

that Application R#4-76 concerning the proposed 24-unit group housing
project at York and Oxford Streets be approved for development by staging.

Prior to consideration of the application, Alderman Laking left the
Council Chamber at 8:45 p.m. as property owned by him on York Street was
