Mr. Anderson along with Keith.Graham were present with a request to subdivide a 3+ acre parcel into three 1 acre parcels in order to obtain permits to construct houses for himself and two other members of his family. Ron West stated that he was opposed to this subdivision since it is located in the rural area and on Bison Street which is not considered an upgraded City Street. Ken Peteron stated that he felt it was too drastic a variance request, and explained the problem with the school bus and Bison Street. A1Sorteberg explained that we do have to follow the existing ordinance, considering the status of the street. Ken Peterson explained that if Mr. Anderson wished to apply for one permit, he should keep in mind that a subdivision could possibly be allowed sometime in the future, so placement of a house should be carefully considered. Motion by A1 Sorteberg, seconded by Ron West to recommend to the City Council to deny the request by Mr. Arthur Anderson to subdivide a 3.02 acre parcel located on Bison Street in the rural area into 3 one acre lots due to the condition of Bison Street and location of parcel in rural area.
