Motion by Commissioner Deemer and seconded by Commissioner laDue that Mr. Birchem be allowed to subdivide by metes and bounds a minimum of 2~ acres, including the area of a cul-de-sac, to be determined by the City Engineer and that no further subdivision of the 40 acre parcel be allowed without platting. Further, that Mr. Birchem shall meet all requirements necessary as determined by City Staff. Further Discussion: Chairman Peterson inquired if the 1 in 10 acre density requirement set forth by the Comprehensive Plan would apply in this case. Mr. Berg replied that in as much as there is only one subdivision, the density resulting is 2 in 40 acres. Mr. Berg noted that this is not final approval, that it will go to Council for final approval on November 22, 1983. Mr. Birchem stated that he intends to start construction now, that his son is getting married and with the economy the way it is, young couples need all the help they can get. Chairman Peterson informed Mr. Birchem that he could request a special meeting of Council in order to obtain final approval but it cost him some money. Motion carried.
