Attorney Bendickson in speaking on behalf of the property owners who signed the petition, opposed the abandonment on the ground it was given in good faith by private individuals for park purposes and property owners had purchased adjacent property in reliance on the dedication. Mr. McDonald, 294 Whitney Street, objected to the property being used for R3 Zone uses, but would approve an R1 Zone use. Mr. Nagy objected to anything other than a Park on the property. Mr. J. D. Light spoke in favor of abandonment, with money from the sale going for Park purposes elsewhere. Chief Administrative Officer Bryant stated that the Council reluctantly accepted the property as Park when they accepted the Pacific Grove Subdivision in 1942, as the property at that time was good for nothing else because of the drainage problem. Changes in the drainage in the area now warrant the development of the property either as a Park or building site. Mayor Riesland ordered the hedring closed and called a recess in the consideration of the question. Further action appears hereinafter. REPRESENTATIVES OF FRINGE AREA STUDY Chief Administrative Officer Bryant introduced to the Council Mr. William B. Boise and Mr. Jorma J.

Councilmen Logan and Hobel were of the opinion that the objections should be sustained. Councilmen DeWolfe and Halferty thought the Park should be abandoned, with the money realized from the sale being used for Park purposes further away from the present Third Avenue Park.
