Chris Johnson, spoke on behalf of the Estate of Eleanor Johnson.  Mr. Johnson went over the appeal stating the State was interested in buying some of the land but didn’t want the house and that was the reason for inquiring about a free split.

 

The Board stated the applicant would not need a free split to break off the house lot as they would not be creating another lot.  The land that the State wanted to purchase would be added to abutting State land and a lot line adjustment would be the application required.
