Seminole Family Land LLC requested approval to submit a third minor subdivision of a portion of Section 38 on Bayou Gosh Island (Zoning District R1AM, Council District 4) to create Lot 1. This is a consecutive minor subdivision within the two-year period following earlier subdivisions; approval allows the application to proceed to the January 8, 2026 Planning Commission meeting.

John Winters requested approval to resubdivide portions of lots 40, 52, 53, and 54 into lots 40A, 40B, 52A, and 54A (Zoning Districts R1AM, R2, and R1A, Council District 1). Proposed lot 40A does not meet width geometric standards due to a 2-foot spike strip reducing frontage to 43.89 feet, though the lot maintains 75 feet width throughout its depth. Applicant requested a waiver of width requirements; department did not object and recommended approval. Waiver requires final approval by Council.
