He <br />noted the similar request by Alden Anderson in 1981 <br />which set a precedent for denial in these cases. <br />Mr. Haglund stated . ,re there is no proof of setting a <br />precedent by approving this because of the unique <br />situation. <br />Mr. Ferrell stated that the present zoning code would <br />prevent subdivision requests of 2 acre parcels, but he <br />has already subdivided his property, upon the request of <br />the City. <br />Mayor Butler stated that she felt the entire Council <br />should be present to make a decision on this <br />application. <br />Mr. Ferrell stated that the Council has a moral <br />obligation to honor previous councils' actions. <br />It was moved by Mayor Butler, seconded by Councilmember <br />Adams, to table this application until the April 14, <br />1986 Council meeting for the presence of the entire <br />Council.
