Consideration of Administrative Subdivision Request from Mr. Gary Denzer The Building and Zoning Administrator reviewed his memorandum for Counci1members regarding the administrative subdivision request by Mr. Gary Denzer. He ex- plained that in 1984 Mr. -Denzer requested an administrative subdivision to eliminate a number of lot lines which were previously located on his 35 acre parcel. He noted that the reason for the elimination of the lot lines at that time was so that Mr. Denzer would have one large parcel. He also noted at that time that City Staff and the City Council recommended to Mr. Denzer that he not eliminate the lot lines because they were legal lots of record and also had a road easement running through the center of his property. He noted that Mr. Denzer indicated at that time that he would like to eliminate the lot lines so as to create one large parcel for him and his family. The Building and Zoning Administrator indicated that Mr. Denzer is now requesting to subdivide his property into smaller lots, and noted that because the property would abut upon an existing private dirt road, and because of the size of the lots Mr. Denzer is requesting, the Staff is recommending that Mr. Denzer go through the preliminary and final plat procedures as outlined in the subdivision ordinance. Mayor Hinkle opened the meeting with the purpose of a public hearing on an administrative subdivision request for Mr. Gary Denzer. Mayor Hink]e recognized Mr. Gary Denzer who stated that he would appreciate it if the Council would put back the lot lines which were previously in exist- ence. He stated that he was previously assured by the City that this could be accomplished. He explained he bought the property in April of 1984 and built his home off the paved road. He added that if the Council is uncomfortable with recreating the 2~ acre lots, he would request re-creation of the ten and five acre lots.
