on about 8-9 acres of land.

that it has its own tax id number. He would like to keep the parcel from 31 B
down Jericho Rd and south of the property back.

Ostrowski advised that he did not foresee an issue so long as the lot is
conforming and will need a survey map for the board to review. Mr. Bibbens was
advised that the mother lot should be labelled # 1 (the farm) and the new lot
would be labeled # 2. In addition, the survey map will need to include
neighboring properties, along with the property owner names and any existing
structures on the proposed subdivision lots, utilities (power lines, fire
hydrants, and water line, septic).
