Moupds View City Council May 23, 1988 Regular Meeting Page Two Mayor Linke closed the regular meeting and opened the first public hearing at 7:07 PM. Clerk /Administrator Pauley reviewed the issue before the Council and showed an overhead map of the area and the surrounding property. He explained that in reviewing the request for an extension of the building permit, they have discussed the possible use of the lot for access to the back of the property for subdivision and development of the back lots. He stated Staff is asking the Council for direction on how to proceed, and he added that a lot split has not been granted, and if applied for, would have to be done at the time of the permit. Mike Hurley identified himself as the attorney repre- senting Julian Johnson, owner of the property. He explained Mr. Johnson is out of the State and was not able to come back for this hearing. He stated they understand that when the original building permit was issued, a lot split was not requested or approved, and that while their original intent was to develop only the small, front portion, without the split they would be dealing with the entire parcel. The Council questioned when Mr. Johnson would ask for a lot split. Mr. Hurley responded that at this_ time he has no intention of asking for a lot split, but has only requested an extension of the building permit at this time. He added that while Mr. Johnson had misunderstood the lot split issue at the time the original permit was granted, it is acceptable to him. Clerk /Administrator Pauley reported a previous owner had applied for a building permit approximately four years ago, which the Council denied at that time. Mr. Hurley pointed out Mr. Johnson has a buildable lot and he does not see why the City should deny him a permit to build on his property. He added if the City is inclined to acquire the property for a future road, he is willing to talk, and he would like direction from the Council at this time as to what their intentions are, as this has been discussed for years and it is time that a decision be made. He added Mr. Johnson's intention is to construct a home and sell the entire piece, or he may possibly request a lot split at a later date. Councilmember Hankner asked what the market value of the lot is. 6. Public Hearing: Consideration of Request for Extension of Building Permit for 8100 Groveland Road
