# Area Plan Commission replats five North 22nd Street lots into three, over a resident's parking and sewer concerns

## What happened
The commission approved replatting five out-of-compliance lots along Maple Avenue near North 22nd Street into three lots that meet the city's minimum lot size, clearing the way for up to three single-family homes where as many as five could have gone before.

Resident Cindy Miller, who lives across the street, opposed the plan, citing the block's Hungarian immigrant heritage, narrow streets already backed up by railroad traffic, deteriorating sidewalks, and a sewer line she said she'd once been told was in disrepair; she asked the commission to allow parking on only one side of the street.

Commission members and staff told Miller the vote only redrew lot lines and didn't decide any specific housing type or affordability level, and suggested she call the city's non-emergency line about the sidewalks. ([1:09:30](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tUWhJle6oNE&t=4170))
