AGENDA ITEM 7A <br />STAFF ORIGINATOR: Tanda Gretz <br />C.C. MEETING DATE: December 17, 2001 <br />TOPIC: Approval of a Minor Subdivision <br />Joseph A. Schwartz, 558 Pine Street <br />ACTION REQUIRED: 3/5 vote <br />BACKGROUND <br />The subject property is located at 558 Pine Street and is owned by Mr. Joseph A. <br />Schwartz.

As a result, approval should carry the condition that the properties be <br />legally combined. <br />This application involves a minor change in parcel sizes, and appears to pose no concern <br />for public health, safety, or welfare. Staff would recommend approval of this Minor <br />Subdivision with the following condition: <br />
