Regular City Council Meeting Monday, May 8,2017 Page 11 Consultant Mike Lamb and Leila Bunge, Kimley-Horn Mr. Lamb clarified that closer tracking would be accomplished in the next draft as Chapter 1104 procedure language is brought into Chapter 1102, and reducing the subdivision code from four to three chapters to make it more streamlined. Mr. Lamb suggested the City Council proceed with their review page by page, address- ing each accordingly. RCA Exhibit C 1101: General Provisions Mr. Lamb noted that while the Planning Commission continued their interest in discussing each definition, he suggested that the City Council review only those with which they had questions or comments. Mr. Lamb noted that there were few additions, with the majority eliminated or consolidated. Page 1 (Purpose and Jurisdiction) In Section 6, Mayor Roe noted that Minnesota State Statute Chapter 471 was high- lighted but 462 was the actual addition. Mr. Lamb agreed that was an error, and confirmed that Chapter 471 had been in previous subdivision code, and Chapter 462 was now added. Page 2 In Section 11,Councilmember McGehee asked if a diagram or something less cum- bersome than the description for a"corner lot' could be used. Mayor Roe agreed that illustrations are helpful. Mr. Lloyd advised that, per the latest Planning Commission discussion, they were recommending that no definition of"corner lot'was necessary. Mr. Lamb agreed that graphic representations were an excellent suggestion, often proving helpful and expressed his willingness to consider them in other areas of the subdivision code, even though he had intended to exclude "corner lots" from the revised subdivision ordinance. Councilmember Willmus noted the reference to "corner lots" and "interior lots;" with Mr. Lloyd advising that they were now in other areas of city code, but not in the revised subdivision code. Pie 3 Mayor Roe noted a number of places in the subdivision code that referenced "par- cel," (e.g. Section 20) and while there was a definition for"lot," there was not one included for"parcel." Mayor Roe suggested one be included or one for"parcel of record;" and that either the same term be used throughout the document or referred to individually in the definitions.
