Michael Holt came forward and stated that he wants to break off a piece of the property to construct a new home for his daughter. The house will be around 4,000 sq. ft. and will blend with the neighborhood. The reason the property line is skewed and not straight back is because they will be connecting the sewer out the rear of the lot rather than through the front. Board Member Carter asked if they were keeping the gravel drive in the front. Mr. Holt said they did not want to infringe too much on the driveway. Mr. Carter confirmed it had two curb cuts.
