(1) Concerning the unfinished business of the Christian.

(2) Mr. James F. Jones presented plans for a building to be constructed on Lot B, Block 59, which is the trinagular shaped lot north of 92nd St. , west of 6th. Ave. in the Professional Office zone. The design of the building did not conform to the architectural requirement of a residential type building, no off -street parking was provided and the parking provided on -street was not sufficient to meet the requirement.
