The final plat of Gegelman Subdivision, Lot 1, Block 1, and Lot 1, Block 2, a re-plat of Lots 1-3, Block 1, Meier Subdivision within the SE ¼, Section 12, T140N, R64W located in the extraterritorial jurisdiction of the City of Jamestown, Stutsman County, North Dakota. The property is located at 8381 32nd St SE, Unit 20.
Tim Magnusson, SRF Consulting Group, Inc. gave the staff report remotely via computer stating that nothing has changed on the plat since the preliminary hearing. The applicant would like to combine three lots into the proposed subdivision of 1.48 acres. The combination of lots will allow the applicant to construct a new garage on the resulting Lot 1, Block 1, Meier Subdivision. Lot 1, Block 2, Meier Subdivision is substandard and should not be considered developable, but could be sold to an adjoining property owner on the north side, and if so, the lot could be considered developable.
All requirements of Section 9, Appendix B of the Jamestown Municipal Code have been met and the application is considered complete.

3. Discussion relating to 2019 Action items.
Tim Magnusson and Scott Harmstead of SRF Consulting Group, Inc., along with Chairman Hillerud, Secretary Veil, and Commission members discussed the action items that were presented in 2018. Mr. Magnusson suggested the Commission re-adopt the 2018 list for 2019. It was decided to work on completing the first item, being the Downtown off street parking requirement, as this action item was almost completed last year. The development of a land use table to make the existing zoning ordinance more orderly and user friendly should be the next priority on the action item list. Staff will work with SRF Consulting Group, Inc. to develop the land use table as time allows. A time table of the next 3 to 4 months was proposed.
