Councilmember Hendriksen stated that on the plat drawing it looks like there is a road. We may end up with a worse situation - three lots and no public road. Ms. Frolik responded that with a metes and bounds subdivision, there will be no platting of a road; the access will continue to exist as a private driveway easement between property owners. Councilmember Anderson stated that she would like to go forward with better planning in the City and metes and bounds seem backwards. Councilmember Hendriksen inquired if the metes and bounds subdivision would create another buildable lot. Attorney Goodrich stated that the right to a building permit is not inherent with a lot split. Ms. Frolik stated that a metes and bounds subdivision is not intensifying the current status of the property as it relates to the number of homes serviced by a private drive easement. Councilmember Hendriksen stated he is surprised the City would permit subdivision of a property without public access. He suggested tabling action on this case until answers are developed for all the questions Council raised. It was noted that Mr. Danner was present. Motion by Councilmember Hendriksen and seconded by Councilmember Zimmerman to table action on the Danner request until the following questions are researched: 1) How does this case compare to Council action in the case of Pettersen Estates; 2) Give other examples where the City has done a subdivision without fi'ontage; and 3) Present future subdivision plans for the Danner property - plans 20 to 40 years from now. Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Gamec, Councilmembers Hendriksen, Zimmerman and Anderson. Voting No' None. c. Leo Anderson, Planning Commission Chair, pointed out that the Planning Commission never considered a metes and bounds subdivision. He asked that the Commission be kept apprised of the Danner case.
