5. officer memorial marker program - placements within srcc boundaries.
presenter: officer jason huskins, apd
officer huskins is a 6 yr veteran who has taken this project on to honor the apd officers killed in the line of duty. ordinance changes and right-of-way variances have been a hurdle to the placement of the markers. each marker is 6 inches thick, 20 inches wide and 5 feet tall with a picture of the badge and synopsis of the event and officer information at the time of death. there is currently one installed on congress at the school for the deaf and two others installed around the city with the total being 17 and installation goal one year. apd cadets will be tasked with upkeep with the city responsible for vandalism. some residents feel the wording and size of the memorials is inappropriate and are opposed to having these placed in residential areas or in front on their homes.

6. 1406-1506 parker lane: neighborhood plan amendment (NPA-2010-0021.2) and rezoning case (C14-2010-0140) to increase use from single family to "higher density single family" (SF-6 or MF). presenter: representative from eroc neighbrhood plan area.
the lots in question are four separate lots each zoned SF-3 for a total of .96 acres. the owner is proposing to build 12 homes on the property which requires a change to the neighborhood plan as well as a request to upzone. the direct neighbors feel strongly that the proposal is excessive with respect to the area and oppose the zoning request. interested parties will continue to try and resolve the issue.
