Existing retaining walls within proposed easements or over a property line be relocated. 2. The new lot must connect to city sewer and water. 3. Park dedication shall be paid for one buildable lot at time of recording. Background/Discussion Case Nos.V 14-02 &LS 14-05 Reg Powell, representing the property owner,is proposing to split the lot at 19375 Oxford St NW into two buildable parcels.
