The Applicants representative, Mr. Greg Mooers stated that he received the background report and stated that the property was CPRd 20 years ago and 2 houses were constructed since that time and they each have their own water meter. He stated that the Toomans and the Rice live on the property as they have for 17 and 18 years so the result of this action would be no increased density, no increased traffic; its just a matter of changing the ownership from a CPR unit to a subdivided lot. He believes this is consistent with the Countys position in opposition to CPRs. There were no questions from the Commissioners for the Applicants representative. There was no one from the pubic to testify. 2
