COMMENTS FROM THE COMMISSION:
A discussion ensued regarding the creation of an irregular lot line and if
this change creates the potential for future "overdevelopment" on one or both lots
or sets a precedent. Commissioners also expressed concern that lawn
maintenance, fencing, etc. could become confusing because of the irregular lot
line (who cuts what). Commissioners acknowledged both property owners have
agreed to this lot line rearrangement and in the future if one or both of the
properties are sold the new buyers would be aware of this irregular lot line.
COMMISSION ACTION:
Commissioner Schroeder moved to recommend lot division approval
for LD-07-5. Commissioner Fischer seconded the motion. All voted aye;
motion carried.
