He <br /> noted that hopefully it will be available on CD Rom at a later point in time.In response to a <br /> question raised by Council Member Luecke it was noted that currently the Building <br /> Department does not have linkage by computer to this data however paper copies are <br /> provided which track by file number and ordinance number all changes in zoning. <br /> Mr. Byorni also noted that the East Bank Medical Area Study is currently being <br /> analyzed and that new zoning districts may be proposed early next year. <br /> Also under miscellaneous business the Council Attorney requested that the <br /> Committee be updated on Resolution No. 95-90 which is a confirming Resolution for <br /> Habitat to Humanity. She quoted the relevant state law and recommended a change to that <br /> Resolution which specifically noted that the Council was waving certain compliance <br /> requirements and that they are specifically determining that the 4 properties meet and would <br /> be declared Residentially Distressed Areas. She provided a copy of the proposed language <br />' to the Committee. <br /> Council Member Luecke voiced concern in light of the fact that they were already <br /> built however that they were somewhat similiar to the petitions brought by Barry Adams <br /> and Value Construction.
