for the discussion. Staff explained that the applicant had
submitted a preliminary map for three lots at the end of
Brookwood Lane on a site zoned R -1- 15,000. The site had been
looked at previously under SDR -1381, Charles Johnston. The
proposal results in two corridor.lots taking access from a
cul -de -sac, which is not allowed by the Subdivision Ordinance.
Mr. Trinidad explained that the intent of that portion of the
ordinance had been to discourage parking on street. There was
a general discussion of whether the property lines could be
gerrymandered to meet the intent of the ordinance. Mr. Tompkins
felt he could present such a map and Mr. Shook requested that
he do so. If such a plan were presented to Staff and met their
concerns, it was directed that the map be sent to the agencies
for conditioning. It was moved and seconded to approve the idea
of a common driveway in concept. The motion was carried unani-
mously. It was directed that this item be continued to the
