The adjoining six acres to the south also has a 25 feet width private easement for access. There is no paved street, however there are presently being constructed several multiple units on landlocked.parcels in the same tier closer to Highway #39.

The applicant asks that he be permitted to split his 100 feet by 214 feet parcel into two 50 foot lots and his 350 feet by 214 feet lot into four separate parcels. The 'Planning Commission reviewed the case and then reviewed the subdivision ordinance and made 'the' declaration that the land is basically undeveloped without the slightest indication of proposed improvements. The Commission gave the opinion that the land should be developed through the state sub- division regullations with its two large parcels being over 2.1 acres.
