NOW, THEREFORE, BE IF RESOLVED AS FOLLOWS: I. That because the Park Dedication Fee with regard to Feeley's Addition was paid at the time of platting, the Park Dedication Fee Requirement approved for case SUP/95-60 is hereby waived and the City Staff is directed to modify the Zoning Use Permit approved on October 17, 1995, to reflect this City action. Enacted by the City Council this 21st day of November, 1995. #/ ATIEST: ~~~ Mor i eldon, City Clerk ' .1 I
