Gaffron explainer the proposed subdivision, noting the l-cation of the existing mouse and garage. The Applicants propose to lea- a 2+ acre parcel with the existing house and also create a second buildable lot. Their site evaluator found an alternate sit- for the existing house with its proposed 3-acre parcel, but testing resulted in a recommendation by the site evaluator to add about 1.3 acres to Lot 2 to accomodate drainfield sites, leaving Lot 2 with about 4.8 acres total. Applicant has agreed to this revision. They intend to leave Outlot A for future development. This woula result in a subdivision of three lots that would access from County Road 84. The City Engineer, Glen cook, recommends that interior access be developed for this property. Staff put together s diagram showing anticipated development in the area. Mr. Armstrong, property owner to the east, expressed concern about access. The Armstrong property could easily be servF by a road along it north boundary.

Hanson suggested an alternate cul de sac location to avoid access directly onto County Road 19.

Mrs. Armstrong,, who is the owner of property to the east and south of Applicar a that she is interested ir. the ability of coming in with a road from 19 since they may wish to sell that property. She questioned whether plans to do s�p would need to be written into the present proposal. Mr. Kelley informed titr that the dedication of 20 feet for future roadway would probably by one of the conditions of the subdivisirr on this property. Gaffron inquired whether road construction costs woul be shared given that 2 of Applicant's 1(. -nay ultimately require usage F that read? Kelley commented offirmat e1y and went on to say that ^.
