agencies prior to final plat approval.

Questions from the Commissioners:
Lemke questioned if notices were sent and approximately how many. Matzke replied
about 75 notices were sent out to property owners within 500 feet.
Comments from the Public:
Applicant Steve Ling said he is planning to subdivide into two lots and will comply with
requirements and conditions. In fact, they already contacted their engineers to make the
changes. Hopefully the lot split will be beneficial to the city as well.
Billington asked if they were anticipating any difficulties in compliance with the tree
requirements. Ling replied his engineers did not feel there would be a problem.
Billington: There shouldn't be any interference with the lot configuration in terms of
construction. Ling said he didn't think so.
