Planning staff told the board the property in Edna Mills had been converted to a single-family dwelling though it remained zoned B1, and is largely inside the mapped floodway with a septic system last repaired in 2006. Staff said the Clinton County comprehensive plan designates the area for low-density residential uses and recommended certifying the rezoning request to R1 to legalize the existing residential use and reduce the risk of the property becoming blighted.
