. Extract of Minutes VN-196, .Carlson Page.. #2 not be in keeping with-the rest of the neighborhood. .Thee property owner to the south was also absent but had requested th8t the .B~,ard be presented with_a letter of opposition that he had previously submitted. The primary objection of the property owner to the south was that the subdivision would not be in character with the .neighborhood.. Mayor 5enden noted that 'lie has-been in contact with theproperty owner to the north and that this neighbor is :presently investigat- ng the development of his land and wants to determine how the subdivision of Carlson's land will affect his property. A lso, if the property owner to the north sold .Carlson the needed acreage in order to create lots of required width,-the house presently located at the site would still impair proper subdivis- ion of the land: Therefore the. property-owner to the north is still in strong opposition. Carlson indicated that he was willing to dedicate part of his property for the-road and that the concern over the road was not warranted. Rick Brickner, a neighbor to the south, on lot 37, has a lot that is only 55 feet in width. He was not opposed to the sub- division-and he stated he has no problem with his lot that has a substandard width. Medved remarked that the subdivision would result in smaller lots than is indicated by the general character of the neighborhood in light of the amount of dry land available on the site. He also commented that he-has not seen any hardship on the applicant as it relates to the nature of the land.
