Weinberger stated the guest houses in their current locations would need to be removed because they would not meet the required setbacks. If the property is subdivided, the property would need to meet the building requirements at that time. Hamm commented that the majority of the 18 acres is composed of wetland. Lindquist commented that he does not want to see the guest houses grandfathered in. Pages
