(Unity <br /> Gardens/St. Vincent DePaul. <br /> Mr. Relos noted that that staff solicited a proposal from Danch Harner Associates to replat <br /> two Commission owned parcels near LaSalle Square. These are parcels that Unity Gardens <br /> uses to the west of St. Vincent DePaul. We are asking DHA to perform subdivision services <br /> to make a two lot, one outlot minor subdivision replat. There is a retention pond on one <br /> parcel. The replat will plat that retention pond off from the remainder of its parcel. And, we <br /> want to split the eastern most lot at an old abandoned road that is on it. This will help make <br /> the St. Vincent DePaul property more marketable and will provide a buffer/setback for reuse <br /> 3 <br />
