B S if^-> •ro^*» \^‘ i f** •access is very important to the owners of980 West Femdale, but is immaterial to the owners of 905 West Femdale who have an abundant supply of such access. Orono Application No. 2269 had the beneficial net effect of allowing for the removal of the old Sharp house, and combining the land on which it sits (Parcel G) with the McCourtney house (Parcel J) at 1055 West Femdale Road. The lot line rearrangement proposed herein is not detrimental to McCourtney. This lot line rearrangement is also not harmful to the Charles Floyd house because it does not have any impact on the Charles Floyd house one way or another. The Charles Floyd house is located entirely easterly of all the lands in question (except Parcel D which partially adjoins the Floyd property). This lot line rearrangement regarding Parcels C and D was specifically agreed to by John Brooks, who purchased the old Bagley (McDowell) site at 905 West Femdale Road in June, 1997 fi-om Conley Brooks, Jr. With regard to hardcover, there is immaterial positive or negative impact on the John Brooks house at 905 West Femdale Road and the Conley Brooks. Jr. house at 980 West Femdale Road, because all of the lands which are the subject of this lot line rearrangement request are within the 0 foot to 75 foot set-back area in which area no hardcover is permitted. Consequently, it does not make any difference for building purposes who owns these little parcels of land. It is a strictly neutral factor. Each of980 West Femdale Road and 905 West Femdale Road has its own hard cover computation and its own hard cover issues based on the fact that so little of each is in the 75 foot to 250 foot zone. In sum, this lot line rearrangement completes the logical rearrangement of properties in this immediate neighborhood after the sale of the Skarp property and after the sale of905 West Femdale Road to John Brooks, with one exception. The exception is a significant one. The exception relates to Conley Brooks, Jr. and Charles Floyd as putative co-owners of the 20 foot parcel carved out of the Skarp property via the 1951 deed. There has been and there continues to be discussion between Conley Brooks, Jr. and Charles Floyd (through Robert Floyd, Charles Floyd’s son, and Kevin DeVore, Robert Floyd’s lawyer) of Brooks’ proposal that Conley Brooks, Jr. and Charles Floyd effectuate a swap whereby Charles Floyd would give up his undivided one-half interest in the 20 foot parcel (Parcel B) in return for the easterly part of Parcel D, just in fi-ont of the Charles Floyd house at 960 West EB01:Mi«13_2
