Mr. Short noted that three of the lots are located within the commercial zone and he felt that potential owners of this land should be so notified, in order to avoid potential problems. Mr. Hill asked if these lots should be rezoned to residential? Mr. Short said,not unless the entire strip of homes is rezoned. Mr. Gotwald felt it would be sufficient just to make the poeple aware of the fact of the zoning of those lots - this could be made a part of the deed. Mr. Reinert moved to table this plat until all corrections are completed. Mr. Shearen asked Mr. McLean if the Council objected to receiving plats in this manner, and Mr. McLean said, there had not been any complaints from the Council and quite a few had been received in this manner.
