Public Comment: Billy Eiler wanted to discuss purchasing property on Brittany and what would be allowed to be built on these parcels. City Engineer and Chair addressed subdivision aspects, lot sizes, building uses in R1 zones, detached garages cannot be metal buildings- would have to be made of like-materials as housing (brick and mortar); explanation that a lot cannot have an accessory building without a primary dwelling. Addressed question as to whether parcels can be combined in a sub-division. City Engineer would not
recommend this; Chair explained “subdivision” status; expectation of persons living in a subdivision; maintaining continuity of lots of an already-existing subdivision, and that expansion of one lot into the size
of three does not meet the intent, but rather eliminates the intent; if this were three parcels “not” in a subdivision, there would possibly be no issue, but to combine in one subdivision sets a precedent that
would have to be exercised in other subdivisions if requested. PC input was consensus that the lots should/ would not be combined in a subdivision and any accessory building would have to comply with Code
requirement of a primary structure on the same lot. City Engineer also addressed the lot being occupied by multiple easements– wide utility & drainage easements and then setbacks, which ultimately would reduce
the area allowable for building.

Motion to adjourn: Commissioner Yoes; 2nd by Commissioner Carnes. Pass 4-0 Adjourn: 6:26.

Chair and Secretary will review minutes and forward them to the Planning Commission.
