This property all is in the RR-ZB Rural Residential Zoning District, which requires a minimum 2 acre lot size for a building site. On February 18, 1986, the Planning Commission voted 5-0 to recommend denial of 3 total residences on the applicant's 3 acres, but recommended approval of allowing i additional house on the S acres. That recommendation did not clarify whether a lot line rearrangement would be appropriate. Ferrell continued his 3-total-house request at the Council level and on April 14, 1986 Council directed staff to draft a resolution of denial by a vote of 4--1. Although that resolution was drafted, it was never formally adopted and was tabled at applicant's request. The item was opened again in May of 1987 at applicant's request, discussion ensued, and it was again tabled at applicant's request.
