Mr. Stark indicated that the reason for the lot split is that it is increasingly difficult for him to maintain the entire property. He wishes to split the lot and eventually sell one portion. Scott McKernan, a neighbor on Andorra Drive, asked if a house is being built on the property. Currently there are no plans for a house to be built, however, the land is zoned residential and a house can be built on the property in the future. Mr. Koeth moved to approve the lot split of the PP# 231-32-04 as presented. M. Yager seconded the motion, which was unanimously approved.
