3.C.  Consider Ordinance 2237 amending subdivision applicability removing the ten-acre limit. 
Discussion:
City Administrator, Tom Ourada, explained that some towns have this 10-acre limit and some don't. The City of Crete does have a 10-acre limit, and Tom thinks that it should be removed. It is a way for people not to have a subdivision on the ETJ approved by the City. The reason the City has a 2-mile ETJ is for future planning for the municipality to control land use.
