Regular City Council Meeting Monday,April 21,2014 Page 16 he didn't see how the City Council could approve this application; and expressed serious concerns in doing so. Mr. Lloyd noted that lot sizes could also be addressed similarly in commercial districts, where the Zoning Code didn't address lot size standards other than sin- gle-family lot sizes. Mayor Roe read the "Statement of Purpose" from Section 1004.09 of the Zoning Code; opining that this application didn't meet the definition of LDR-2; further opining that he could approve LDR-1 and would be willing to do so in the most expeditious way possible for the developers to proceed. McGehee moved TABLING action tonight; with Mayor Roe asking that she withdraw her motion for the moment to allow more discussion, at which time she did so. City Attorney Gaughan clarified that, if the intent was to table action, that the de- cision for extending the review period needed mutual agreement by the applicant and City Council. Mr. Johnson stated that he was not sure of his ability to extend the Purchase Agreement without first consulting with other parties to the agreement. Mr. John- son noted that, when this route was taken, it was to avoid any new road or infra- structure for this almost four acre parcel, which could accommodate sixteen lots, but they had chosen not to do so to keep with the current neighborhood's charac- ter. Mayor Roe Recognized that aspect; and asked Mr. Johnson's preference for committing to an extension or having the City Council take action at this time, which may result in denial. Mr. Johnson agreed to the 60-day review extension. City Attorney Gaughan asked that any action include a specific date to ensure a more perfect record for the City. Councilmember Willmus suggested action be taken when a full City Council was available, recognizing that Mayor Roe would be unable to attend the May 5, 2014 meeting, and suggested the extension be done to the May 12, 2014 meeting; which was mutually agreed upon by the body and Mr. Johnson. At the request of Mr. Johnson, Mayor Roe clarified that the extension would be for consideration of the plat as presented or it would require the applicant to start the process over again with a Public Hearing at the Planning Commission level; and suggested that the applicant choose what they were willing to do.
