Page 8 Discussion Mr. Jim Thompson, 1897 Gluek Lane, indicated he was not opposed to this application. He did voice concern about establishing a precedent for the future. He hoped a minimum lot size to be permitted in the neighborhood could be established. Mr. Jim House also commented that he had no objection in principle to the proposed division. He agreed that he did not want to set a precedent for more lot divisions in the area. He also was concerned about drainage in the area, and felt it should be closely investigated so that homes are not affected. Mr. Thompson indicated that the smallest lot created by the Doerr and Farinacci divisions is .85 acres. However, there are other lots in the Gluek Lane area of approximately 1 acre which could be divided. He felt lots of 1/2 acre would be too small and not in keeping with the character of the area. He would like to see a minimum lot size of the Discussion Johnson asked if the City could restrict the size of the lot. Mr. Dahlgren indicated there were two possibilities for dealing with Mr. Thompson's concerns: 1) The property owners in the neighborhood could privately deed restrict their property to a certain lot size. There would be no City involvement, and 2) The property owners could send a petition to the City requesting that a separate zoning district be established for this area restricting lot size to a specific square footage. Recommendation Matson moved, Johnson seconded that the Commission recommend approval of Norman Doerr's application for division of lot at 1920 Gluek Lane, with the condition that the staff study the drainage in the area to determine if any easement is required.
