Requested by Dan Danielson, representing property owners, Ernest and Marlene Danielson. ATTORNEY: Dan Danielson is requesting a minor subdivision of his parents' property, located at 8444 Greenwood Drive. The City subdivision regulations allow for a minor subdivision in the event that property does not exceed one acre in size, in that property does not result in more than two lots being created.
