Carson moved: Schultz seconded: The Public Hearing on Case #10-89 be opened. AYES: NAYS: ABSENT: ABSTAIN: Gerlick, Hogue, Schultz, Tobin, Carson None Becker, Fish None The motion carried . Mr. Harold Stitt was sworn and offered testimony on the proposed resubdivision of Lots 1 -5, Block 1, Yale-Tejon Industrial Park, and the subdivision of a -1 - tract of land in the Northwest 1/4 of the Northwest 1/4 of Section 33, Town 4 South, Range 68 West, which has not been previously platted. Mr. Stitt tes- tified that public notice was given to adjacent property owners by registered • mail; 15 letters were mailed, of which two have not been picked up and one has been returned unclaimed. Twelve registered mail receipts have been received indicating those property owners did receive the letter. Mr. Stitt stated that the resubdivision and subdivision of the property owned by Fishbach Prop- ert"U!s, Inc. is being proposed to facilitate the sale of a portion of the property. The proposal is to divide the total properties into two lots, the proposed Lot 1 being the lot which will be sold, and the proposed Lot 2 will be retained for usage by Natkin Company. The proposed resubdivision/ subdivision will have no affect on services in or to the subject site, or to the adjacent land owners. There will be no negative impact on the neighbor- hood as a result of the proposal. Ms. Tobin asked if the site had been posted with signs indicating the date and time of the Public Hearing. Mr. Stitt stated that this is not the required form of notification for considering Subdivision Plats, the required form of notification being the registered letters he earlier alluded to. Mr. Stitt stated that Lot 2 is developed and utilized by the Natkin Company, and that Lot 1, which is al so developed, is proposed for sale. Any future development on either lot would have to go through the permitting process in the Building and Safety Division, and gain drainage approval from the En- gineering Division. Ms. Tobin asked if the resubdivision and any possible further development would have an impact on the traffic and parking in the area. Mr. Stitt stated • that there was no way he could speculate on the impact that further develop- ment in the area could have on the neighborhood. Mr. Stitt stressed that the property is already developed and occupied, and any development in the area would have to be accomplished in compliance with the provisions of the Com- prehensive Zoning Ordinance. Mr. Stitt stated that the Preliminary and Final Plat required by the Subdivi- sion Regulations has been combined into one submittal, which is what is before the Commission this evening. If the Commission approves this proposed subdivision/resubdivision, the plat and supporting information would be for- warded to City Council for their consideration and action. Mr. Oran Claridge had entered the meeting during the last portion of Mr. Stitt's presentation, and Mr. Stitt was asked to recap his presentation for Mr. Claridge. Mr. Claridge stated that he owns property on Vallejo and Yale, and had wanted to hear the presentation. Mr. Gerl ick asked if the applicant were present. The applicant was not in attendance, and Mrs. Romans stated that the applicant had been advised of the date, time, and location of the Public Hearing; the local representative of the applicant had indicated they would be in attendance. Brief discussion ensued. Mr. Gerlick stated that the Commission would continue with the Hear- ing without the applicant's statement inasmuch as the matter appears to be a straight-forward division of property. He asked if there were any proponents who wished to address the Commission. No one spoke in favor of the proposed subdivision/resubdivision. Mr. Gerlick then asked if anyone wished to speak in opposition to the proposal. No one spoke in opposition. -2 - • ' . - • • • Carson moved: Schultz seconded: The Public Hearing on Case #10-89 be closed .

Mr. Wanush stated that a Planned Development had been approved by the Commission for the property at 4799 South Windermere Street in 1987. The Municipal Code provides that if application for development (building permits) has not been made within two years from the date of approval, the applicant is required to give notice why the approval should not be withdrawn.
