Mr. Forney asked how Mr. Bohannon would be able to develop the new property brought into
the existing subdivision.
Ms. Little stated he could not further develop it or make more lots out of it without going
through the subdivision process. He would then have to include a road so all the lots would have
frontage.
Mr. Alexander asked who had the authority to add or take way from the existing subdivision.
Ms. Little stated as a citizen of the United States, Mr. Bohannon had the right to acquire
property. What the City and the County were overseeing during a property line adjustment was
the public frontage and Mr. Bohannon had frontage along the county road.
Mr. Reynolds stated they did not enforce private covenants.
MOTION
Mr. Forney moved to approve the lot split subject to the staff comments.
