SOUTH WEBER - Claims of potential contaminated soil as a result of

from approving a rezone that would allow home building to take place  
near the spill site.

On Tuesday, the council unanimously approved the rezone of 4.57 acres

moderate density residential zone. The somewhat rectangle-shape  
property is located south of Canyon Meadows Park and north of South  
Weber Drive.

But before the council approved the rezone, they received a bold

by the city.
