the assessed owner. Mr. Sommerset indicated he was.

L.I.D., stated he concurred with Mr. Sommerset.

an incorrect date in the advertisement of the public hearing. He
suggested the Council wait until the third participant of the

cessed when there were no plans for development. Schuler indi-
cated the annexation was before the King County Boundary Review
Board and the law provided for rezone simultaneously. If the
annexation request was denied by the Boundary Review Board the
rezone would be moot.
