Adm. Achen explained that since the intent of the developer is to return at a later date to request a minor subdivision of the western lot, the staff recommends that this request be treated as a major subdivision now and eliminate the second minor subdivision request. The Planning Commission left this decision up to the Council. Councilman Shelquist stated that the proposed lots really are inadequate; but the Planning Commission had agreed to the substandard lots as the other lots in that neighborhood are substandard. Mayor Johnson asked if this should be considered a minor or major subdivision. Councilman Shelquist recommended it be made a major subdivision since it is the eventual intent to make it three lots.
