Public Hearing: Minor Subdivision – Joseph and Lisa Gadbois, 8860 152nd Street North
Staff gave background on the proposed Minor Subdivision for the property at 8860 152nd Street North.
The property owners, Joseph and Lisa Gadbois, requested to split their 19.95 acre pro perty into two
parcels at 9.97 and 9.98 acres in size. The existing home will remain on the proposed parcel to the east.
The property is zoned and guided in the Comprehensive Plan as Agricultural (AG). Properties in the AG
zoning district have a minimum lot size of 10 acres. However, after performing some historical research
on the property, staff is considering the proposed parcels to be 10 acres. Staff is of the opinion that the
proposal meets the necessary criteria of approval, and recommended approval of the Minor
Subdivision subject to the conditions listed in the resolution.
The applicants, Joseph and Lisa Gadbois, were in attendance. Joseph Gadbois commented that they
had no comments.

No one spoke.
Chair Kleissler closed the Public Hearing at 7:04 PM.
