` PLANNING COMMISSION MARCH 13, 1990 PAGE 4 required and the frontage of sublot 3 is 70 feet, however, the frontage is not effected by the assembly since the property is being added to the rear of the sublots. He further explained that the original lot had been separated by I-480 and that the owners are merely squaring off the Mastic Road portion, but they were required to join the portion across I-480 to a lot that they owned facing Columbia Road in order to eliminate a land- locked situation. Mrs. Watts, representing J.P.N. Corporation,.explained that they are splitting off the two rear sections of the lot and selling them to the two adjacent property owners and will be selling the main por- tion of the lot. The portion of the lo.t across I-480 will be assembled to another lot they own facing Columbia Road.as required by the city in order not to have a landlocked lot. It was clarified for a neighbor that the larger parcel was being squared off and could be subdivided later, but that was not part of this request and if it is.done in the future, it would have to be approved by.the Planning Commission. The proposal " was explained to Mr. Sponseller, an adjacent resident, and another neighbor, speaking from the audience, questioned why this was being approved when the rezoning across the street had been tabled. Chairman Thomas explained that the property owner has a rigYit to subdivide his property and the sub- division should not have any bearing on the proposed rezoning. M. Betts moved to approve the proposal to subdivide permanent parcel 237-19-20, located on the north side of Mastick Road, east of Columbia Road, into four (4) sublots. Included in this proposal are permanent parcel numbers 237-19-2, 237-19-22, and 237-19-26, as submitted, seconded by R. Bierman, and unanimously approved. III.
