Mr. Tooker noted that the City subdivision code requires each lot to be on a public road with minimum lot size being 10,000 square feet and 80' on a public road., Staff felt that if variances and concessions are give% lots 79-88 would have to participate in the process involving many landowners. Staff recommended denial with the feeling that the City should not get involved with such a complicated matter requiring so many concessions from the City code. Mr. Bradley commented on this request. He goted that he was more concerned with the City pos, sibly taking over the street and putting in - ilities rather than splitting the lot.
