**Marcia Matthies stated she would be leaving the room**

Don Spicer introduced himself and explained he had purchased this property in 1991and continued by noting some of the excerpts from the purchase agreement. He stated his wish to split his twenty acres in half.

Don Meyer explained the Future Land Use Map and Zoning that the County uses to determine what can be done.

Steve Rasmussen indicated that he owns the first home on the private road. He stated that there is a 25' easement and if any more easement was granted, the road would be in his living room. He indicated that there is not enough road to accommodate any more traffic.

Ken Tex drew a map of the area showing where the easement sits and how it expands as it goes back into that area farther. He also explained the 66' easement that would be necessary if more property were to be subdivided.

Don Spicer thought maybe the opposition=s side should have inquired about county zoning and what is allowed in this area and further indicated that the posts on Rasmussen=s property might be keeping the road from being wide enough.

The public hearing portion for this application was closed at 8:45 p.m.
