Mr. Raleighs' request and described the property in question.

reasons: 1) A variance is required and given only
under demonstration of hardship.

the Old Village, since the lA ordinance
went into effect.

buildable lots.

but requests the PZC deny the request, as relates to the
subdivision of the remaining parcel.

Council, that the 1/10 A, which is to be attached in.seperably
