Motion by Councilmember Borden, second by Councilmember
Singer to approve the rezone based upon the Hearing Examiner's
Findings of Fact, Conclusions and Conditions, and to instruct the

the property abuts a developed parcel (Janssen's Addition) that is
served by adequate public infrastructure.. ." He pointed out that

expressed concern that the property requested for rezone will also
have problems with storm drainage. He expressed support for the
rezone and suggested amending the Finding of Fact to convey the

facilities downstream and upstream from Janssen's Addition are
not adequate.
