Sitting: Robert Nelson, Zella Elizenberry, Frederick Borgeson, Marshall Brem, and Jonathan Forbush. Attorney Brian Garner of Dunning R Kirrane represents the applicants at this hearing. They are seeking variance relief to be able to construct single family residential structures on three separate lots as referenced above. The lots to were given to the brothers and sisters by their parents. Applicants have learned that the Town had merged the lots due to their common ownership by their parents. They have applied for variance relief to re- establish these lots as separate and buildable lots. The lots are identified separately and taxed individually, each assessed at about $112,000. Each lot contains approximately 11,250 square feet with 75 feet of frontage which is consistent with the lots in the surrounding area. The zoning in this area is an R-5 which requires 80,000 square feet. The intent of the original owners was clearly to keep these -individual building lots. The • lots are located in an area which has been heavily developed and their proposal will result in the construction of typical single family homes much like what is already in existence
