Public Hearing - 6924 2nd Avenue - Preliminary Plat - Lang Builders Ms. Wyland stated that the application is to split 9.5 acres into four single family lots. The property is zoned R -1 and located within MUSA. Utilities can be extended to service all four lots. The City Land Use Plan is consistent with R -1 use. The existing home on Lot 2 will remain. All lots meet code standards. One lot will require minor wetland fill, which has been approved by the watershed district. Staff is recommending approval with the stated conditions.
