The Laker as a letter to the editor. She conveyed that she feels that her First Amendment rights were

6. Review /discussion of Planning Commission Case No. 12 -16 — sketch plan of 5938 Idlewood
Road
Rita Trapp reviewed the sketch plan of a proposed four lot major subdivision at 5938 Idlewood Road.
The property is located between Idlewood Road and Fairfield Road, near Hawthorne. The Anderson
family has a 2.5 acre site and the estate is proposing to subdivide approximately 1.9 acres of the
property into four lots, three of which will front on Idlewood Road, and one which will be accessed from
the unimproved Fairfield Road right -of -way. The intent of the sketch plan review is to outline various
planning - related issues associated with the pending project and identify items that will be addressed in
subsequent submittals.
After discussion, it was the consensus of the Council that instead of accessing the one lot from
unimproved Fairfield Road, the preferred access would be from Idlewood Road. This could be
accomplished by reducing the width of the three lots shown to abut Idlewood to accommodate an
access. The applicant will work with City Staff on how to accomplish this access and proceed with the
major subdivision process.
