Rd. 151) Discussion In 1971, Arthur Ahlm subdivided hi, ,rty on Cherry Place into 4 lots, each of about 2/3 acre, ai ed in the Council minutes of October & November 1971. Ahlm had been previously assessed 3 sewer units for the entire property, hence the minutes state that a 4th unit would be assessed with the division into 4 lots. In 1972, three of the four Iota were built on, leaving the fourth lot (at "1475" Cherry Place) vacant. Glesne bought his home at 1470 Cherry Place in about 1972, and bought the vacant lot from Ahlm in 1976. The Glesne house is connected to sewer at Cherry Place. The vacant lot, which Mr. Glesne now wishes to sell as a building site, has a sewer stub available at North Arm Drive. Staff as of this writing has found no record that the 4th sewer unit was ever paid. It was customary at the time to collect the $1270 se•+er unit when the building „ermit was issued. This apparently remains to be collected. The subject lot is 0.64 acre or 64% of the required 1.0 acre, and 125' wide or 891 of the required 140' width. This lot has remained as a separate tax parcel since 1971.
