City Council Minutes August 9, 1982 Page Three have requ,ested an administrative subdivision to divide their property into two parcels; one parcel consisting of 26.649 square feet and one parcel of 46;664 square feet. The City Administrator indicated that the City staff finds no particular problems with the administrative subdivision and further indicated that the two resulting lots are in conformance with the City's zoning and subdivision ordinances. Mayor Hinkle indicated that it is the City Council's responsibility to determine if the subdivision meets the City's zoning and subdivision ordinances and not to de- cide whether the lots are buildable or not. Mayor Hinkle opened the public hearing. Mr. Gary Santwire asked that the City Council table the decision on the administra- tive subdivision until such time as the question of drainage of the water in that area can be answered. Gary Santwire indicated that that particular area takes on a lot of water and that the drainage is at its limit at the present time. Mr. Gary Santwire questioned where the water would go if the corner was filled. Councilman Toth indicated that the total area was divided into two lots which allowed for plenty of room to build without requiring the filling of the low area. Further discussion was carried on regarding the water drainage in the area and specifically. where the water would go. The City Administrator indicated that the City would be aware of the situation and would specifically address the situation should any problems arise at the time of the issuance of a building permit.
