Status of Planning and Development Department submitting report relative to Petition of The Comfort Women Peace Project (#202), request to place a memorial statue within the park located at Cadillac Square and Bates for those women whose lives were sacrificed as a consequence for war. (The above listed property is located adjacent to the City of Detroit Financial Historic District and will need to be reviewed by the City of Detroit Historic District Commission. The DPW-City Engineering Division contacted the petitioner May, 2014 regarding this project and has not received the requested follow-up information from the petitioner regarding where the petitioner plans to locate the statue so that City Engineering can determine if there are underground utilities in the proposed location. The Planning and Development Department, therefore, will defer action. The DPW-City Engineering Division will prepare the final recommendation. AWAITING REPORTS FROM LEGISLATIVE POLICY AND DPW-CITY ENGINEERING DIVISIONS, RECREATION, BUILDINGS SAFETY ENGINEERING & ENVIRONMENTAL DEPARTMENTS.) (BROUGHT BACK AS DIRECTED ON 11-24-14)
