lot and lot 5 to allow for s:ch subdivision. it was noted that the property
is located in U.S. Survey 3099 winich is presently zoned "Unclassified.' Such
subdivision would not meet the necessary minimum lot area. Several maps were
shown to the Commission showing other lots in the immediate area which have
subdivided below the miniaums. The party seeking the approval has indicated
that sewer service is available to this lot through Jackson's Trailer Court.
The Commission discussed a work session held previously on changing the minimum
lot area in Unclassified if the property had City ?•later; City Water and Server
or none of the above services. 1r. Erwin moved that the Corrnission follow
through with the recommendations made at the work session t-n havp +-ha ohannAc
discussi It was pointed out that some way should established to maintain, the
low density areas that could not be subdividedd doom to the same size lots
for high density areas. "k. Iiolt moved for denial as here is no ground
for an exception and the Commission could not rezone as this would he snnt
Luring the a1ScuSSlon tnat rollaaed it qaS pointed out that there are many
things that must be taken into consideration before increasing the density
population in an area. If allowed to subdivide down to 10,000 square feet in
an unclassified zone, this really is quite small for those area set up for
lag density and many problems can result. Further consideration should be
given to a solution of this problem.
