Merl Merl Payne had requested approval of subdivision for the land Payne he purchased in Section 3, the same being 40 acres described as the Subd. NA of the SE4 of said Section. Mr. Payne did not appear nor was he represented at the meeting. It appears that the land in question had been subdivided without frontage on a public road as required by City ordinances. It further appeared that the seller granted Paynes an easement over adjacent land as a means of access to a public road but this easement exits on Keats Avenue at a location which is deemed hazardous by the City Engineer. Council member Pott moved that based on the facts before the Council, the Council should decline to approve the subdivision. Seconded by Council member Morgan. Passed 5-0. The Council directed the City Attorney to determine if there had been a violation of the subdivision ordinance by the seller.
