Regular City Council Meeting Monday,June 19, 2017 Page 14 Councilmember Willmus concurring if the result was based upon the minimum at the rear setback at half of the minimum front width at that rear setback. Mayor Roe suggested that a fixed minimum of 43' may be easier for staff and de- velopers to interpret than a percentage of a front yard width that could vary. Councilmember McGehee suggested 50' instead of 43' as the minimum setback no matter the size of the front, providing a 50' x 110' lot allowing for a descent building pad.

Mayor Roe also noted that in this current subdivision code reference was made at the beginning to those three planning documents: Parks & Recreation System Master Plan, Pathway Master Plan and the Comprehensive Plan. City Attorney Gaughan advised that state law mandates that before city can even collect any park dedication, it must have a park and open space plan in place, with
