Staff Comments
Sketch Plan—requesting waiver from sketch

narrative has indicated Lots 2 and 3 are to have shared drive ways and Lot 1 will have an individual driveway.
Construction details —The plans do not show how locations, septic, or water connections.
Landscape plans the number of lots does not require landscaping. The existing aerial photo of 2013 indicates
the parcel has existing vegetation.
Clearing plan —The applicant has indicated clearing will occur for the house, site septic and well installation as
lots are sold. The applicant has requested a waiver from a clearing plan

topography.
