Solon, Iowa 52333 2/21/96 City Council 410 E. Washington St. Iowa City, Iowa 52240 I am writing to request expedited consideration of the zoning amendment which allows consideration of development activities within previously altered slopes. I would also like to request expedited consideration for my Sensitive Areas Development Plan and changing the use regulations from PRM TO PRM-OSA. I would hope that the adoption and approval of these two items could be shortened as much as is allowed by law. The Development Plan is for an apartment building which will likely be leased primarily to students for the fall semester. In order to be able to have the apartments ready for occupancy by the fall semester it is critical that we be able to start the project as soon as possible. Thank you for your consideration.
