Mr, Brown gave an overview, saying that he is a longtime family friend and handling the estate and by chance they received two offers on the property, one for a piece of the property and one from the *wner of the adjacent lot to buffer her property. The buyer of Parcel A has stated they will eventually build a single-family home and the neighbJEN purchasing Parcel B will consolidate it with her current property. I Ms. Meier Swain asked if we consider stormwater in this instance. Ms, Balestra responded that we do not when the action is just a subdivision when no plans are really known about a house or structure. Historically, for a simple subdivision like this, we do not address stormwater. If it was a larger subdivision with plans, such as the Mountin subdivision, we would because those are sketched out in concept and location and the effects would be known.
