ANNEXATION PETITION FILED BY ZUKAITIS RESOLUTION NO. 35, SERIES 1993 - FINDING SUBSTANTIAL COMPLIANCE OF AN ANNEXATION PETITION FILED BY ZUKAITIS INITIATING ANNEXATION PROCEEDINGS FOR CERTAIN PROPERTY AND ESTABLISHING A TIME FOR A PUBLIC HEARING TO DETERMINE IF THE PROPOSED ANNEXATION COMPLIES WITH STATUTORY REQUIREMENTS Davidson asked Paul Wood to cover Resolution No. 35, Series 1993, Ordinance No. 1126, Series 1993, and Ordinance No. 1127, Series 1993 in his presentation. Paul Wood, Planning Director, stated that this annexation is a 27,590 s.f. parcel, the westerly most enclave on Johnson Street. The address is 601 Johnson Street.
