Title 17 = Zoning Code Potential Revision City Manager Molendyk advised that this item was placed on the agenda because of concerns expressed by Council, particularly relating to landscaping of medians, housing densities and minimum lot standards. Mayor Strigotte discussed a subdivision approved in the 1880's at the west end of the Lake, expressing concern that the standards and types of developments are not consistent with the other development in the area. He questioned the legal approach to this issue and if the Council can look at merging of lots or other types of lot adjustments. He requested that staff study this area and address the concerns mentioned. City Attorney Harper clarified that the subdivision map would still be valid, however the type of development for this project has not been approved. He advised that staff has discussed the possible reconfiguration of lots with the developer and no final decision ha~ been made. Mayor Strigotte expressed further concerns with row housing and the possibility that lower standards might be applied. City Attorney Harper advised that although the map is approved, the development standards will be written to provide a quality project.

Further Council discussion ensued relating to the size lots which can be developed and variables of the standard requirements.
