She noted the developer could describe that,but believed it was a buildability issue. <br /> Doepke said he was curious about the discontinuity between the buildable portions within that lot. <br /> Curtis stated, if approved,they will move the lot line between 17 and 20 to accommodate the vacated area <br /> for a building site. It is an administrative area and not part of the application in front of the Commission. <br /> Ressler(arrived at 6:06 p.m.) <br /> Mr. Pat Hiller, Source Land Development, said as they gained some experience in the project,there were <br /> a certain number of lots not as favorable for building due to where the conservation lines were drawn <br /> initially. With some adjustments to the conservation lines as proposed,the lots are much more buildable. <br /> They wanted to do it on a balanced basis so the net conservation area of the project is at least the same,if <br /> Page 1 of 16 <br />
