Commission discussion on the required fees for the proposal. Fortney indicated the fees
for the original lot were paid upon original development. Since the proposal would be
splitting the original lot into two, only one charge of fees would be required as one new lot
would be created. Commissioners posed questions regarding the width of the lots given
the requirement does not allow detached garage structures to be built in front of homes.
