Lot # 1 and Lot #2 would be subdivided by the road (County Route 6). The Planning Board Members reviewed the map, and Edwin Dippold, Jr. explained that the side of the road with the house had been surveyed, the Thompson line had been done, the Strausser line had been done with a little problem with a foot over the line, which was reflected on the map. Mr. Dippold went on to say that Strausser’s line that was out behind Rappleyea’s had been surveyed and therefore stopped at the pin in the corner, where there is a stone wall that runs up behind Esther Shakun, and a State line that runs along on the back side. Edwin Dippold said that it is not going to be broken up anymore than what the property is now, and that it wouldn’t be subdivided anymore. Edwin Dippold asked the Planning Board members if there was anything more that they would like to see on the map beside the contour lines. Robert Hermance asked if there were any easements on the property now, like electric, water rights or …… A discussion was held. The Planning Board Members discussed the final map and decided that it should have contour lines, show the pad, and an existing driveway.

Carried. Absent were Constable and Albino. Mason Minor Subdivision (For the record) Rose Williams, as Tax Collector, gave George Mason copies of his tax bills and Mr. Mason didn’t think that the tax bills reflected what he thought the acreage should be on the two parcels, so he went to Greene County Clerk and checked it out further, and apparently the lot line adjustment of 2.825 acres from Parcel 1-49 that was added to 1-50 that was done in September 2005 was never recorded with the Greene County Clerk. So therefore, Mr. Mason asked Surveyor Bruce Maben to make another set of maps up for him and Chairman Howard came in to sign and update the maps with a new date on them for filing with the County, which were filed with Greene County Clerk by George Mason. Taris Charysyn made a motion to adjourn the meeting, seconded by Robert Hermance. All agreed. Chairman Howard adjourned the meeting. Respectfully submitted, Rose Williams, Secretary
