TW1 that the property could not support septic tanks or an adequate drain field , and that Mr . Nielsen had purchased the property in July of 1968 with these existing conditions . He then reviewed Mr . Nielsen ' s attempt since then to annex to the City ; LAFC had re - jected his application , directing that an attempt be made to enlarge the territory to be annexed . City Manager stated because of Mr . Neilsen ' s efforts to annex this property to the City and his continued desire to annex , and because property prior to resubdivision had been served by City sewer , it was the Staff ' s recommendation that the sewer connections be granted subject to the usual conditions . He also noted that it was the intention o f Mr . Neilsen to re -apply for annexation through LAFC since it had been intimated he could do so again , and this , too , seemed to justify the granting of these connections as annexation could be completed in a short period under one ownership . Councilman Weymouth moved to adopt RESOLUTION NO . 6039 GRANTING CONDITIONAL SEWER CON - NECTION PERMIT TO PREMISES SITUATE OUTSIDE THE CITY LIMITS PURSUANT TO SECTION 27 . 21 . 1 OF THE CODE OF THE CITY OF REDWOOD CITY ; AND STATING CONDITIONS THEREOF AND FEES THEREFOR ( NIELSEN ) seconded by Councilman Petersen . Councilman Henderson indicated her unwillingness to support the resubdivision by County o f this property into three building sites unless it proved to be compattible with City ' s present zoning in this area . Mr . Roesch , 6o8 Windsor Street , Attorney for Mr . Nielsen , advised the smallest of the three lots would contain 6500 square feet , and the largest 8 , 500 square feet . He also ad - vised that old buildings which had been on this property had now been removed since purchase by Mr . Nelsen in his plan for redevelopment of the property . He noted also a contact had been made by County Planning Commission to Redwood City Plan- ning Director in which Mr . Schroeter had indicated his opinion that the property should be divided into two parcels , but after discussion before County Planning Commission permit had been granted for the three parcels as not being too far out of line , subject to the condition sewer permit be granted . Councilman Henderson stated she could not support this request nor the resubdivision o f this parcel into three as it would seem far more desirable to require subdivision according to our zoning than that of the County , and felt City Planning Commissbn should first be consulted on such requests . Councilman Roseelli opposed granting such permits unless based on hardship , or health and safety as in previous policy once set by Council , and feels no hardship in this case if property already had two sewer connections to the property , and that a better liaison should be established between City and County so that City would not be subject to accepting wcels of less than standards set by Redwood City zoning regulations . Mr . Roesch again reviewed the lot sizes and felt they were not too far out of line with those he described in adjacent area varying from 5 , 500 square feet to 10 , 000 square feet . In reply to questons on topography , slope density , and rights -of -way in the area , further description of the lots and proposed planning was given .
