Councilman Keckley moved to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 5575 GRANTING EXCEPTION TO CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF CHAPTER 30 OF THE CODE OF THE CITY OF REDWOOD CITY , BEING THE SUB- DIVISION REGULATIONS OF THE CITY OF REDWOOD CITY, AND APPROVING A SUBDIVISION THERE- UNDER-J.R. AND M.A. McMILLAN, seconded by Councilman Bury. On question, Council requested further details on the parcel division; whether access is approved by Fire Chief; effect of access proposed to setback of existing building and whether lot split would create another building site. Planning Direc- tor explained the lot division as it would effect reduction of square footage on the front parcel, agreeing that a buildable site would be presumed to be created by the division of the parcel as proposed but would be subject to complying with building permit requirements, and all other requirements which were not a part of this proceeding. Fire Chief advised there were no objections to be raised on the 20' access to the rear parcel as many other similar situations exist throughout the City. Planning Director also advised the proposed access would necessitate either moving or tearing down of the present structure adjacent thereto, as maintaining its pre- sent position would not comply with the conditions recommended, if exception granted. Motion carried on roll call vote, Councilman Henderson voting no. ,M 6se
