Summary
A developer wants to split a 0.44-acre tract into two single-family lots without pulling a neighboring 14-year-old house into the subdivision process, which would trigger sidewalks and a detention pond. The board discussed the loophole of serial lot splits avoiding subdivision rules and floated adding a time limit. A rezoning from multi-family to single-family for the site is separately pending at the city council.
