Dr. Franz sold 1 tract of 6.0 acres to Dr. Crump and 2 tracts of 7.6 and 8.3 to Dr. Andrews after annexation. This is in violation of the subdivision ordinance. Land can be sold but not subdivided or a building permit issued for property on an unimproved road. Dr. Franz is now requesting to replat 9.1419 acres of the remaining land into 3 tracts. He was advised that this is still in violation of the subdivision ordinance as were the other tracts built on after anne xation.

After a very lengthy discussion it was recommended Todd Stewart, Administrative Assistant would research all the property south of Wilderness Trails recorded by deed.

VOTE: UANIMOUS FOR
To recommend to City Council disapproval of the rezoning request of 3.918 acres from MFR-M TO NC. The following memo to be sent to the City Council as the recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Commission.
MOTION CARRIED
MEMORANDUM: TO MAYOR AND COUNCIL
The Planning and Zoning Commission action is based upon a concern that the parcel is too shallow to allow the proper balance between the practical use and the appearance of the property. The recent history of development of narrow commercial properties is that the bui·lding must be the largest possible that can fit on the property and provide the minimum required parking resulting in on landscaping or at best a minimum. The majority of the Commission present accept the concept of commercial property at the corner of F.M. 528 and Winding Way.
