Herbert Assocs., Inc., presented the proposed lot line change between lots 21-K-100 and 21-K-102. Lot 21-K-100 will transfer 2.5 acres to 21-K-102. State subdivision approval has been received for lot # 21-K-100. The larger lot, 21-K-102, does not require state subdivision approval. Mr. Aspinwall reviewed the topography and soils mapping. The soil study was done in 1995, by Mary Gospadarek, when the original subdivision was done. The bounds need to be set. Mr. Wilder question the WWPD line in the small pond area on the plan.
