2 D. John Wall, Chelan, discussed the change in zoning to the Westwind Apartments which he inherited when his father passed away. Somehow, the zoning was changed to Single Family Residence.

He had one with the Three Fingers with condos, one reflecting the Three Fingers with a park, and the third was a rendition done by a landscape architect.
