CONSIDERATION OF AN AMENDMENT TO THE PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS PROGRAM FOR THE FINAL PLAT FOR HARVEST CHURCH ADDITION TO APPROVE THE DEFERRAL OF CONSTRUCTION OF STREET PAVING, STORM WATER DRAINAGE, AND SIDEWALK IMPROVEMENTS IN CONNECTION WITH 36TH AVENUE N.W.

body
BACKGROUND: The final plat for Harvest Church Addition, Lot 1, Block 1, was approved by City Council at its meeting of November 13, 2012.
