Commission members had expressed interest in the ownerships in the area. Mrs. Romans stated that, as a follow up to the earlier discussion, the Planning Staff has compiled a map of this area, which map identifies property owned by Swedish Medical Center, properties that are owner-occupied, renter-occupied, two proper- ties that the staff could not determine whether they were owner- occupied or renter-occupied, and one property on which the house has been condemned.
