11:00a.m. Judy and Darwin Shelton regarding property that they purchased about 8 years ago with their daughter and son-in-law-they have built a house on a portion of the property and would like to split it from the larger piece.  James Zehner regarding previous splits in that quarter section-the maximum number of splits has already been reached-discussion.  MacGregor advises that he feels that the Subdivision Ordinance is in place to provide a framework and that the variance process is in place to allow the Commission to work with exceptional cases.  James Zehner advises that his concern is that the door will be opened for the neighbors to seek variances, therefore weakening the overall purpose of the ordinance-discussion.  MacGregor questions the value of a subdivision plat-Zehner advises that a plat accounts for access, roads, etc.  The Sheltons will pursue a variance-they will submit their application and pay the fee so a hearing can be set before they leave.
