Line Change
Chair Clark recognized the applicant who explained that she had purchased the subject two parcels
on Eden Drive, and she wished to combine them into one parcel. The parcels were shown on a portion
of a tax map which accompanied the application. Combining them would make one parcel of

considerably improved the appearance of the lots.
