The Certificate of Mailing and Affidavit of Publication were noted. Mr. Plank was represented by his surveyor, Mark Gronberg. The sketch plan was reviewed at the last Planning Commission meeting. The applicant followed the recommendations for the preliminary subdivision. The road outlot has been • platted. There is no back lot reconfiguration. Lot 2 does not have to meet 150% of area and width standards. A width variance will be required for Lot 2 adjacent to cul -de -sac. Septic testing revealed adequate soils for on -site alternate site location. The applicant was informed that if Lot 1 was subdivided in the future that the northern lot would no longer be able to access from Watertown Road. An upgraded road was asked for if the three lot subdivision were to be done. The applicant's representative inquired if the current standards at the time of future subdivision do not ask for an upgrade, if the applicant could go to what the standards say at that time. The loss of trees were discussed. Mabusth said this would be looked at when Lot I was further subdivided. Smith asked what the future desire for the property is according to the applicant. His representative said Plank would like to subdivide the remaining property into two lots at some future date. Plank was reported to say he has no objection to the requirements but wants it open to what the standards are at that time. During public comments, Mark Jones, a Realtor with Burnet Realty, said the 6 acres with the house has been sold contingent upon approval of the subdivision.
