Minor Subdivision: Jacob P. McNamara, acting on the behalf of Roger A. Koskinen,
proposes to subdivide a ~9.46-acre lot from the approximately 22-acre property located on
Waterburg Road, Tax Parcel # 22.-3-11.23. The property is located in the AR Zone.
Mr. McNamara told the Board that Mr. Koskinen is subdividing the land to sell. Mr. Zepko informed
everyone that the subdivision is in keeping with the Town’s zoning and that are no federal wetlands on
the parcel. Mr. Angie asked about the application form’s indication that there was an archeological site
on the acreage. After a short discussion, Board members decided that the subdivision proposal was not
close enough to the site (a dig of a Native American fort) to warrant any intervention.
Ms. Liddle then read the following into the minutes:
