floor area that is presently allotted.
Cauncilmembers gest and Diaz both stated that in this particular area the zoning
is such that a 10 -story building is permitted under the present "AT" zoning and,

informed them that he is from Shaw and Thorpe attorneys, that the owner i5 Mr. Kaye
Don Borders and his wife and the architect is Mr. Jack Rice Turner, He stated that

space per unit with the remainder used as open space. He suggested that this be part

are .proposing 10 stories; that while the present density permits approximately 74 units,
