Regular City Council Meeting Monday,May 8, 2017 Page 12 Pie 4 In Section 25, Mayor Roe requested correction in the definition of"pedestrian" for language"on foot,"rather than"afoot." Page 5 In Section 38, Mayor Roe asked why a subdivision was identified as less than five acres in area. Mr. Lamb agreed that was a good question; whether it was related to function or maximum lot size. Mayor Roe questioned why this was, and if it would preclude meeting the needs of a particular subdivision, and suggested it may be carried over from original code and asked for further research; duly noted by Mr. Lloyd and Mr. Lamb. Mr. Lloyd responded that in his review of State Statute earlier today, it addressed size parameters,but agreed it didn't match this language. Page 7, Chapter 1102: Plat Procedures Page 8 In Section 57, Councilmember Etten asked that staff talk about common wall du- plex subdivisions. Mr. Lloyd advised that he only remembered two times it came up during his tenure, but reviewed potential division of common wall duplexes into two separate parcels with the common wall dividing the building and parcel. Mr. Lloyd advised that the suggestion was to make this currently handled administrative process consistent with other administrative processes for approval by the Community Development Department rather than the City Manager. Even though the Planning Commission recommended removal of this provision from the subdivision process due to the small scale of requests in which an application or process is necessary, Mr. Lloyd noted that it could come up from time to time such as with a duplex becoming a townhome with separate ownership. At the request of Councilmember Laliberte, Mr. Lloyd stated staff's recommenda- tion to allow the provision in the revised draft,depending on City Council direction. It was the consensus of the City Council to keep this provision in the revised sub- division code.
