Application Background Please carefully review the memo and exhibits of September 12. Briefly, applicants originally proposed a four lot subdivision in 1991 but withdrew the application prior to Council action. The proposed four lot subdivisi«-n was again submitted in June 1997 for sketch plan review, at which time Planning Commission reviewed issues including access to the property and the neighborhood road situation; the number of lots; the need for wetland delineations; confirmation of septic testing; and the need for a number of variances. Planning Commission also reviewed the issue of back lots requiring three acres, and whether platting a cul-de-sac within the property would solve a number of problems. Applicants submitted a formal 4-lot plat which was leviewed by Planning Commission in August. That plan proposed a cul-de-sac just east of the adjacent residence at 1290 Lyman Avenue. The cul-de-sac eliminated the alternate drainfield site for the fourth lot. Planning -2l-dj3
