Mr. McLean said that since we did not have their opinions, that there was no alternative except to hold this over to the next meeting. Mr. Emery said this would put him in an awful position.

The legal description is, Lot 21 Aud. Sub. #151. Mr. Midtaune asked about lot sizes, who is responsible for the streets in a platted area, and if it could be partial platted. Mr. McLean told .him that the lot size minimum is 11,250 sq. ft. - that he is responsible for the streets inside the platted area - that it would be more expensive for partial platting because of the public hearing that must be held on each plat - and also that the land at the present time is zoned agriculture. Mr. McLean suggested that Mr. Midtaune get copies of our Zoning Ordinance and Building Code. Mr. Midtaune left Bis name and address with the Clerk. She will mail him copies of each.
