f�'�7� PROPOSED POLICY RE SUBDIVIDING SMALL PARCELS OF LAND WHERE CITY
`( , STREETS AND FACILTTIES AVAILABLE - Clyde Raney , Planning � Zoning
Commission , proposed a policy which would allow a property owner
of a small parcel of land to subdivide and sell his property without
going through the regular subdivision procedure , i. e . that property
that an owner wishes to subdivide into five or less single family
residential lots with each lot having an area of 15 ,000 square feet or ,
more and where city utilities are available and does not reguire
the extension of city services such as water, sewer or streets could be
developed and building permits issued without any adverse effects on
the city.
Council agreed to the concept but asked that th- City Attorney advise
whether �his sauld be adopted through a change in the ordinance or
if it could be adopted as a olic . No formal action taken.
P Y
�,°��'�� LOVACA GATHERING COMPANY LINE - Lovaca has requested permission I
to lay a gathering line in the Lundy Lane .area. Clyde Raney, Oil
and Gas Inspector for the City, stated that he felt this type of
line , with a relatively short life (Versus a permanent pipeline)
should not necessitate rezoning , and is not covered by permit require-
ments under the Oil � Gas Ordinance; however, he feels that Council
approval for such an installation would make the line a matter of
record. Council concurred, and agreed to take action for approval
of Lovaca' s line at the next regular meeting.
r1�_�� LUNDY DEVELOPMENT - Mr. Raney reviewed a request from Matt Realty
'r for development of property in the Lundy area which property is
7000 feet from the city sewer and 9000 feet from city water lines .
Mr. Raney stated that a study in.diaates that it is economically
unfeasible to run water lines or lines for ,grinder pumps to service
the area. Council agreed that water wells and septic tanks would
be acceptable for development of the land under the circumstances .
ADJOURNMENT - Motion made and seconded that the meeting adjourn.
The meeting raas adjourned.
