Public Input: Ann Marie Gillespie – Bischoff land development, Todd – the differences are very subtle – one has thirteen lots and the other has twelve, maybe ten lots. Paul – this is a re-plat so you are subject to the Land Use Plan rules, cluster would give you nine lots. No lots on the north side. They want an exception. Ed – we have never granted an exception. You would have to do a subdivision plat with a road to town specifications. You could do six lots and 3 (1.5 to 2.5 acres) lots if the wetlands allow for it. What if he kept lot six and lot 7 (land is a total of 113.21 acres). If you kept two lots, you are burning two splits (a total of sixty acres). There is only one access point to the road.
