They each have adequate frontage and acreage. The existing structures are coming down and the footprints are being left in tact. The previously mentioned footprints are all conforming. The plan is to divide the property into three form A lots. Each lot will be for a single-family house in the lakeshore district. Alan suggested the board not vote right away and take some time to do a site visit. Cindy recused herself due to a conflict of interest. Mr. Shern filed the application with the
required $75.00 fee. Cindy inquired as to whether or not the board should discuss this application with building inspector Don Torrico. The board agreed to view the property over the upcoming days and discuss the application at the next meeting. Steven and Brian decided to sign the plan and give their approval.
