This property all is in the RR-lB 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 1 additional house on th-: 3 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 1.4, 1986 Council directed staff to draft a resolution of denial by a vote of 4-1. Although th,t resolution 'was drafted, it was never formally adopted and was tabled at applican,�'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 r•tquest.
