He noted <br /> the City Attorney does not attend every Council meeting. <br /> Councilmember Holden questioned how Mr. Federer could have built on his lot without <br /> removing a single tree. <br /> Mr. Federer stated it was his understanding the lot was cleared in the 1970's and cars were <br /> possibly stored on it. <br /> Councilmember Holden requested staff research the discretion the Council had regarding the <br /> proposed lot split and to forward this information to the Council prior to March 12, 2018. She <br /> stated she was very concerned about the water and drainage issues within the proposed <br /> subdivision. <br /> Mayor Grant requested the City Administrator speak to the City Attorney regarding the <br /> Council's discretion and to report back to the Council well in advance of the March 12, 2018 <br /> meeting. <br /> 3.
