property known as Tie Breaker Village, Division No.1, containing 23,75
acres, and also the annexation of another small tract of the same sub-
division containing 8.34 acres, both of these being located between 1st

meet the frontage requirements of the City of Ammon zoning ordinance.
Councilwoman Dille reviewed the comments and recommendations of the
