ccmpounded with the granting of this rezone. Mr. Henley stated that this rezone would have an
envirenmental impact on the area.

residential purposes.

ial livin~ and uses. Opponents had no objection to the property being developed for r~sidential
living and related uses.

B-3 application) and that a covenant be placed on the B-3 portion so it could be used only for
residential living related uses.

Require 50 foot access at roadway, and that eonsi-cuction be limited to 25 feet'above the present
existing roads. The Council agreed that this would be included in the restrictions, and the motion
was so amended.

involved with this request.
Motion carried unanimously.
