existing 4.6 acre parcel into three parcels as shown on the applicant’s drawing with the following conditions; 1.) that
no roads will be placed through any wetland areas, 2.) a letter stating that there are no boundary line disputes must
be filed at the time of conveyance, and 3.) a registered surveyor’s drawing must be provided at the time of

substandard lot and would also create a precedence.
