if they so desired, consider the development of the subject
properties as lot splits.
Chairman Taylor polled the Commission as to whether they
desired to consider Plot Plan No, 199 and Plot Plan No, 200

for the subject properties.

properties to independent buyers. Therefore, there is no
tie -in between the two developments except that they are being
developed by the same contractor, and in his opinion, they
should be considered as independent lot splits.
