A motion was made by Roy Pelton and seconded by Bryan Baier to approve a request by Owner/Ann Gregg to replat property located West of Craig St. and North of Booker St., being further described as Lots 15C & 15D, Block 23-2.  The owner wants to split property at 405 Craig into two lots.  This is to make the lot smaller so that it would be easier to sell.  The plat presented to the Commission did not show ROW for Baker Alley and does not comply with Ord. #2049.  After discussion Roy Pelton rescinded his motion to approve.  A motion was made by Brian Baier and seconded by Craig Roberts to approve Lot 2 as presented and to hold the remaining lot as Reserved Not for Development.  The owner was to present a revised plat to Staff before the City Council meeting on December 6, 2005.  Motion carried, all voting aye.
