Session 1939 November 15, 2004 Greensfelder Lane, and referred to previous interaction with both the Plan Commission and with the City Council, at which they submitted their concerns about plans for building on that street. One is about Greensfelder Park. He referred to a legal document issued in 1930 and relating to the rear portion of Greensfelder Lane which is meant to be known as "Greensfelder Park" and stating that it is not to be altered or divided or used for any other purpose. Mr. Greenwood asserted this provision has not been explored sufficiently by people undertaking the change. There is and continues to be a restriction included on deeds stating that the rear lots must be subject to reservation as use of a park according to the instrument recorded in Book 1119, page 97. All former property owners, prior to Mr. Anselmo the current property owner, have the 'park restriction' on their deeds. These restrictions are valid and recorded in Saint Louis County records and this restriction remains in place. He further commented that Chapter 1612-010 of Major Subdivisions refers to parks. His group, therefore, submits that due to this Greensfelder Park restriction, the request to subdivide 7823 Greensfelder Lane falls under these rules and procedures, and he requests that this restriction be fully and legally deliberated. He then gave the document he presented to the City Clerk. Mr. Wagner commented that Mr. Greenwood submitted an important document and said that consideration, not previously covered adequately at the Park Commission, needs to acknowledged now that park land is involved and that consideration puts this request into a new category for review. He also noted the need to find out why Mr. Anselmo is not held to the same requirements and restrictions as other residents on Greensfelder Lane. He called for more legal review. Mayor Adams corrected Mr. Wagner and said it would involve review by the Plan Commission and not the Park Commission. Mr. Wagner also called for the Plan Commission to review the City Code to determine the definition of a "minor subdivision." He believes this review is necessary to afford neighborhoods more protection. He wants the Plan Commission to report back to the City Council on this definition for further discussion.
