Flint Hills Resources Simple Plat Request for 14380 Blaine Avenue Council Member Shoe - Corrigan asked about the standards for residential lots below five acres. She noted that normally the density is averaged out with other lots for a rural residential density of two units for 10 acres. Community Development Director Lindquist noted that this property has eight homes on it now and that number would be reduced to three homes and one open lot. Although this is still not compliant with standards, it is closer to compliance. The property is owned by Flint Hills but is not contiguous to their larger parcel. Lindquist said this would be a trade -off to accomplish other goals and it is up to the City Council's discretion. Shoe - Corrigan requested that additional negotiations be conducted and this item be tabled for their response.
