Ben Plumer (Owner /Applicant)
Move an existing house (c. 1964) to a new parcel
The Development Control Officer provided background information on
the proposed development permit. There was a subdivision approved
in 1997, that wasn't finalized and the applicant has sited the house on
one of the proposed lots in order to accommodate the subdivision if it
is re-applied for. L. Kuiper indicated that the original subdivision plan
showed this lot as a Public Utility Lot, but that this could be changed in
anew application if necessary. The Board inquired about whether or
not a water agreement with the EID was in place or not. The
Development Control Officer stated that she could look into that
further. The Board asked why the EID was informed of this
development when they would have been notified during the Land Use
Amendment and Subdivision stages. The Development Control Officer
explained that the reason that the EID received a circulation is
