No major controversies arose, every hearing drew no public speakers and every vote was unanimous.

Resubdivision of Four Lots with Waiver at 154 St. Charles Place, Hornville
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.
