He indicated five years ago they decided to build a home there, after purchasing the property two or three years prior to that. He explained there was a home on it when they bought it that was being rented, and in the process of refurbishing the house they determined it was beyond repair. When they decided to build a new home they found it was zoned commercial, so he had to have it rezoned residential. He indicated there was really only three lots there; one empty and two with homes. He believes it should be residential, and he believes the farm already has a plat on record to subdivide it. Planning Commission/August 7, 2003 Page 10 of 19
