In this memo item # 5 indicated that “the maximum number of lots allowed in this instance by the Farm Preservation provision is 2.” Krystal also noted in item # 6 that “by created four 2-acre lots or even two 2-acre lots from Lot B causes Lot B to become a substandard A-1 parcel.” She goes on to write that “using the Farm Preservation provision Lot B can be divided into one 2-acre lot or 2-one acre lots and one 35-acre lot without creating any substandard lots.” Ranke indicated that he had a problem with this proposal as the farm preservation was intended for children or parents who were to help on the farm.

Hotvedt, representative for Baierlipp, indicated that the applicants have voluntarily deed restricted the two lots to no further land divisions. Hotvedt also noted that although this is zoned A-1 the parcel is substandard (10 acres) and the land use plan does call for 5 acre parcels which these lots would be. Concerns were raised is this would be setting precedence. Clerk did reiterate that what set this proposal apart from other requests to rezone I from A-1 is that it is substandard and that the land use plan does call for “open, other lands” which is 5 acre parcels.
