Mr. Rossow submitted the concept plan for the proposed subdivision of 48 A.
formerly the Cody farm. The plan proposes a road in from Highway 36.
This road is to be temporary until an east —west road is completed. The
property to the east is owned by Shh.eferd'. and to the west by Bergmans'.
There will be nine new sites platted with one existing site, the farm
house, which is on two acres. Park dedication will be handled on a cash
basis
The legality of the sale of the farm house on two acres was questioned.
This is due to the fact the property is in a five acre zone and the
house should have been on five acres. Mr. Rossow stated he talked with
Don Raleigh, City Attorney and he was not concerned about the exception.
Before further consideration, it was felt the home —site question must be
resolved. Also, ponding information will be necessary.
Discussion Items: Larry Whittaker went over the following items:
MUSA Line and Sewer — Mr. Whittaker asked the PZO to express their opinions
as to these two topics and consider what they feel the area in the Old
Village will look like in ten years.
