IV. CASE N0. 52MF, DEEP CANYON LTD. , APPLICANT
Request for preliminary approval of site plan, elevations, floor plans,
and landscaping.

be expanded. Mr. Minturn was against the date palms. There were no objec-
tions to the elevations or the floor plans. Generally, the DRB was in favor
of the project; however, they did want to see how the rights-of-way would be
treated within the project and along 44th Avenue and Deep Canyon.
