Tac Map Parcel: 290A0-1-
Dear Mrs. Sotanski;
I am whiting you with regards to a proposed subdivision of your property at 2.1 Hiland
Drive and to document my conversations with your agent; Pamela Whiting, regarding the
same.
Upon my re-view I find that your proposal will re wire Area Variance review as well as
Subdivision a cor=erxcerrxent Specifically, an Area
Variance is 'required as the proposed lot configuration does not meet the minimum size
requirements of the Rural Residential; (RR-3A) district. Subdivision approval is needed
for the creation of the new parcels.
I understand that you may be preparing the necessary application materials already, as
such; this letter serves as tine necessary denial letter in the ocessing o your Area
Variance application. Please note our establish submittal deadline and the need for a pre-
meeting with staff. Should you have any questions or comments regarding
our application, please do not hesitate to contact this office.
Sincerely
Craig Brown
