Councilwoman Miller presented a brief historical background of the property and noted apparent irregularities which had taken place. Discussion ensued between Council and Staff regarding the question of whether the lot was an approved building site and if it had gone through the legal procedure when originally subdivided. When asked if the Council had ti:e right to review this matter, since it would not normally come before them at this time, City Attorney Frank Gillio stated that Council did have the power to review anything it wished. City Manager Robert Crowe stated that the applicant had been requested to supply additional information for Staff at the Site Development meetings held to date, and that the Health Department had been requested to reconsider their L percolation tests of 1956. The response from that agency indicated that they did not feel further tests at this time were necessary. Further geologic information had also been requested from the applicant.
