The Assistant to the City Manager told him she 23 knew this was a problem staff was working on already, but promised to 24 make a note to find out more about it from Mr. Hamer. 25 Commission Doesn't Like Extra Driveway or Less Exterior Brick 26 At 9:10 P.M. the Chair opened the public hearings scheduled to consider 27 revisions in the Development Concept Plan and Detail Plan for approval 28 under the Planned Unit Development for the construction of a 201 unit 29 apartment complex on the former St. Anthony Village Shopping Center 30 property which the developers have now named Kenzington Apartments of 31 St. Anthony. The developers, LaNel Financial Group, Inc. had also 32 requested a waiver of the Preliminary Plat and approval of the Final 33 Plat of the project property.
