IIIChairman Mountin asked Planner Herman to check with
the City Attorney to see if they could deny a sub-
division because the only access would be through an
acquired easement through a new parcel.
Concern was also expressed with the front yard setback
and whether there was enough room to have the house
placed in line with the others on the block, as well
as having a house in front of a house, for matters
such as fire protection. The fact was also discussed

for a house without any street frontage.

that street frontage is required. She stated she
