It also listed all the lots. Lot 3 shows an existing home classified as <br />farm property (Lot 3, Block 3). He referred to the list of requirements and stated that Mr. <br />Koenig's home does not meet Requirement A or C and he wasn't sure if it met with <br />Requirement D. Mr. Denny stated the Windemere Woods residents were promised by Mr° <br />Koenig that this home would be brought up to standards; that was two years ago.

He added that all of the other homes in <br />Windemere Woods meet the City's requirements.

He stated that Mr. Koenig had given <br /> <br />City Council/January 10, 1995 <br /> Page 2 of 17 <br /> <br /> <br />
