ET recused himself. Daniel Sanchez Jr. explained that his father ("applicant"), Daniel Sanchez would like to subdivide two 2-acre parcels for each of his children. CC sated that the ZBA deemed this project complete and passed an Area Variance for the subdivision. AH asked if this was a public or private road to which RL clarified it's a driveway that goes to Garner Road. The applicant has received a letter of recommendation from Averill Park and West Sand Lake Firehouses stating they would be able to get firetrucks to all parcels, if needed. The Board was concerned about the current owners selling and not settling on the details of an easement. Dan stated that they do have road frontage if they did ever want to create a driveway to get rid of the easement. CC requested that the easement be brought in for the next meeting. AH asked about sewer. Dan said it's septic. Therefore, property is not for development at this time. AH requested a proposed plan for septic, the house, and the well for the next meeting to show that it can be done on the proposed property.
