Chair Zehnder inquired whether, based on the age of the lot, there would be a grandfathered aspect to the ordinance that exempts the property  from the requirement.

 Mr. Konz explained that it is non-confirming right now and to add additional structures would increase the degree of non-conformance which is not allowed by zoning.

Chair Zehnder opened the public hearing for comment, with no one wishing to speak, the public hearing was closed.

Mr. Meister made a motion for the approval of the preliminary and final plat with conditions. The motion was seconded by Ms. Surdy. The motion passed unanimously.
