City Code also stipulates that in the rural residential service area the minimum lot size is ten (10) acres. A literal interpretation of City Code would require that three (3) lots meet the ten (10) acre minimum lot size requirement and the 8.7 acre remnant be platted as a fourth lot. Due to the long and narrow configuration of the property, the most reasonable plat design results in lot sizes of 9.89, 9.60, 9.79, and 9.1.
