The Commission talked about the existing and proposed parks not being included as buildable area and whether existing homes should be part of the Association to be part of the plat. Also discussed was what the minimum lot size should be. Hoffbeck made motion, McRoberts seconded, to require a minimum lot size of one acre. Ayes: Hoffbeck, Kleissler, McRoberts Nay: Bailly, Rosenquist, Schumann Motion failed. Dale Good, 12581 Homestead Avenue North, said the Council had asked for Sunset Shores to revise the plan by putting in smaller lots. Jim Latimer, 12623 Homestead Avenue North, questioned whether property owners were getting an advantage by subdividing property off the larger parcel and then including it in the entire plan. He felt these homes should be subtracted from the open space. The Commission decided to table discussion until their next meeting on October 12, 2006. McRoberts made motion, Kleissler seconded, to adjourn at 10:07 p.m.
