Mr. Briscoe said when the property is platted, it raises the taxes from $4.00 a year to $66.00 a year,p~r lot. Mr.~Briscoe said whilefhe ~is farmi the ground, it is easier to farm the ground from the road, than if lots were sold. Mr. Briscoe stated, he does not feel he can subdivide the property"at.this time. Kent Kearns, 4831 Elizabeth stated the reason the Land Use & Develop- ment Commission recommended den~ing the waiver of platting is because they did not know the size of the lot. Also they were trying to estab- lish consistency in the ordinance. PWD Smart said anytime a parcel is divided, the subdivision ordinance is triggered. The council was in concensus that seeing the water-and sewer is already there, the waiver of platting could be granted, but, Mr. Briscoe should understand, the next application might not be granted.
