Land Use and Planning: Council member has asked neighborhood for list of sites to concentrate on via CARE. STAWNO suggests corner of Marshall-Broadway, and 13th and Marshall, in partnership with Sheridan neighborhood. Proposed house at 605 Ramsey appears to be within city regulations, so neighborhood has little leverage.
