This serves the purposes of maintaining open space, providing multiple housing for those who may wish it, cuts down on roads and utilities, provides more variety of housing. We would appreciate your comments on this suggestion. Dec. 11, 1973 /s/ Jean H. Tiedke" Mrs. Tiedke also asked for information as to whether it is permissible to dig a hole for a foundation before acquiring a bui!ding permit.
