Mr. Hansen asked when annexation would take place on this land and Mr. Callaway replied thafi plans for that are unknown to him. Mr, MacGilvray asked if the setbacks would conform to City requirements and Mr. Callaway pointed out that these are very large lots, so there should be no problem, adding that the City has no jurisdiction over this in the ETJ. He did, however, point out that easements have been included in compliance with staff's requests.

Mr. MacGilvray asked about the street name change required and Mr. Callaway pointed out the one which had been shown was a drafting error.

He then referred to a letter from the applicant requesting this waiver which was also in- cluded in the .packets. Mr. MacGilvray asked Mr. Callaway to please explain any ramifi- cations which might be possible, and Mr, Callaway replied that the only ramification he could foresee is the possibility that an identical or similar request for rezoning that tract could be resubmifited. Mr. Hansen said that he has no problems with this request to waiver as the Commission has already passed a motion to approve the previous rezoning request. He pointed out that the applicant would have to go through the entire rezoning process again, including the 2 public hearings and the notification of all landowners within 200 feet. Mrs. Tongco stated that this Commission is appointed as advisors to the Council in rezoning requests, and the Council are elected officials who officially rule, add 'rng that she wanted no anomosity between the two bodies.

Motion carried 3-1 (MacGilvray against).

Mr, MacGilvray expressed gratitude for this information, stating that he would add that he has felt very uncomfortable at the P,R.C, reviews he has attended, adding that he would like for everybody at the meetings to be introduced in the future, as he knew hardly anyone at the meetings on which he has served as representative of the PAZ.
