That an application ddr Federal. planning assistance grant under Section 701 df the Housing Act of 1954, as amended, to conduct the•basic mapping and planning studies herein -above referred to shall be prepared and filed as expeditiously as possible. SECTION 2. That the reasons for needing the maps,'topograi*hy, economic data, population data, land use date and street studies prior to preparation of a regional urban area plan are as follows; a. Right pf way is presently being acquired to by-pass Highway 71 arcund Fayetteville through undeveloped property and future land uses along this rabbe must be planned. b. Land is being acquired to re-route Highway #16 through undeveloped land South of the City, and future of this area must be planned. c. Since the•present City plans were prepared in 1959, large areas have been annexed to the City and considerable.development has accurred without up dating and revising the plans. d. To properly service its rapidly expanding population the City must plan and build major sewer and water facilities within the next two years, and plans for'these facilities must be guided by thorough population and land use studies. e. The University of Arkansas, located in the City, is planning a 50 mil'.ion dallar building program to accomodate.expected growth, and additional space for campus expansion and off campus housing are urgently needed. f.
