Mr. James Brett, Coldwell Banker Company, representing the owners, reported there to be approximately 6.36 acres in the parcel. Develop - went plans are uncertain and the owners are requesting a resubdivision into the four (4) lots described on the map to set a land pattern for future sales. The City Engineer, in response to the Chair, advised that the resubdivision-as proposed will require the installation of additional, sanitary sewers. The existing sewerage facilities cannot service the four (4) parcels as set out on the map. Mr. Marr sugg6sted that the construction of such public works by the City identifies the proposal as a subdivision, requiring the application of the City's subdivision ordinance. In ensuing discussion, Members concurred in the City Engineer's statement. The City Attorney proposed that the owners submit a tentative map for Commission approval at the regular meeting, February 25, holding the final map until their plans are determined. 2.
