Council actio.s last night.
The council deferred final APP
proval until the application can
be redrawn specifying that part

pose rezoning in the area unless

their approval. Mayor Herman

Q proposed covenant with the
city which would give a com

tract If coming is changed from
Istngle-family TO apartments. The
other is a promise to dedicate
