Shenk shoed follow the su~ivision plloy and plst this p~ece of land. If Council wePe t© say he co~d s~div~de by ~etes and bo~ds he feels they ape also concu~PinE w~tb the ~ acPe lot which is sSstanda~d to oPdinance ~e qu ~Peme~t s. M~. Kyyhkynen said this lot is li~e an outlet between the highway and railroad tracks. Mayor Gamec.pointed out that this lot is smaller than what is requi~ed by ordinance. ! Councilman Cox said he felt a metes and bounds description can be confusing. Councilman Sorteberg said this is an isolated parcel and he doesn't feel platting is necessary;, and feels he should be allowed one lot split off f~om his parcel. Councilman Cox pointed out that this is the second lot he is splittRng off his parcel. He also feels Council should be consistent in their handling of these requests. Attorney Goodrich said the State /aw says anything under five acres has to be plaited. ~.~ Motion by Reimann ~nd seconded by Sorteberg to allow Sher~in Shenk to subdivide i/i~ by metes and bounds and pay the park fee, reason: because it is faz~m land and beoause it isn't a contiguous parcel. . Councilman Cox said he fails to see the harship. The only h.a~dship he can see would i'/~ be the one forwarded onto the ~utu~e p~ope~ty owners. He dis&g~ees with the intended ; J va/~iance f~om the ordinance--it is not a hardship in ~his case and it hasn't been .'.'i :~ lndicated as such' by the owners, in his 6pinlon He feels this is inconsistent With ; Council's previous actions such'as the .cases of. McGa2egor, Anderson and Westby on "~'. which they have recently taken Contrar~ action. This is actually pa~t of an -~: parcel No. ~800. He objects to ~t also because it is concurring with the subdivision 4 of smaller than a 2~ acre lot which would require a variance to the ordinance.
