The Planning Commission discussed this advisory question—can the lot be divided? The Planning
Commission recommended that road frontage is needed, along with a separate well, separate
septic, and separate everything for a 1 acre parcel split.
The property is located on the corner of Mullen and Krueger Rd. The division would allow one of their
children to build on this property. The Town Board would like a letter be sent that as long as you can

for an acceptable split of property.
