 My name is Carl Neuesson, the vice chair. We have Paulie McMurtry to my left. We have Tor Nelson and Josh DeChu fits you. And we have John Friedrich. So we have an application tonight for a minor subdivision. And we will begin. Oh, we need to smear in. This is the first time I've done this for a while. So anybody that will be giving testimony, please raise your right hand. Do you swear to tell the truth? Oh, are you going to testify? Do you swear to tell the truth on the matters before the board tonight under penalty of perjury? I do. I do. I do. OK. There's no other people, so I guess there's no one seeking party status. You're involved with the application, right? Yeah. So we will start with an overview of what you are planning to do. I'm David Darron. It's my brother's estate that we're talking about. And he died last year, and Ellen is trying to get his estate with Ottoman through probate. And hopefully, in the next few days, it's going to come out of probate. And I don't want anything to do with the land. And Ben and Krista want the main farm, and Ellen wants the land that's down by Berlin Corner. And so that's what my objective is. I have no interest in the land. I still own a sugar place and a mountain pasture here in Berlin that's in my name. But at any rate, what we're talking about is two pieces of property. The main farm was purchased in a swap in 1896 between my grandfather, Perrin, and Gardner, Dustin. Gardner, Dustin lived up where these people do. And my grandfather, Perrin, had what you would know of as Richard Nye's house right up here at the corner. That's where I live now. Was that right? Well, at any rate, they swap farms. And there was other land with Richard Nye's property at the time. But anyhow, that was 1896. And since that time, two things have happened. One is that the airport was built. And when the airport was built, 1940, more or less, my father and mother picked up one piece of land on the extreme eastern portion. The airport bought a bunch of land and that separated the main farm from the sugar place. That was 1896. And then after the 1940 airport, the only real thing that's happened to that is that when the interstate went through, there was a very small corner of my brother's property that was taken. It has nothing to do with the other piece. That was, so I'm talking about 1896. And then in 1955, my brother and mother and father bought the piece right up here, which is Comstock Road, smaller piece. Comstock Road, they bought that for Mr. Evett. And there has never been any useful connection between the two pieces. The border between the two pieces is a miserable hill that's only suitable for either a deer or a mountain goat. The only useful connection, even though the two do touch for a low windage. So that's about all I have to say about it. So they were absolutely separate parcels because that one was picked up much later. Yes, yeah, parcel eight. I think it was, if I get my numbers straight, 59 years later. OK, well, you're here. So we will go through the criteria because in the event that I feel as though if they're two separate parcels, it doesn't really matter what the tax record say because the Ds are what's, I mean, I don't know if Josh, what you think. Can I just ask a few more questions? So I'm just looking at the plat here that we have. Can I speak quickly that plat? Sure. So in the process of our title search, our lawyer discovered some inaccuracies on this plat that we are working at the survey to have corrected. So you will note that there are three references on that plat to volume 35, page 207. That is not an accurate deed to any of the parcels associated with it. In reality, the smaller parcel should be referenced to miscellaneous book 1, page 329. The larger parcel should be referenced to book 35, page 209. So our lawyer picked up on this in the course of doing a title search last week. Here's a letter to submit to the board. Any copies coming in here? That's right. I have copies for everyone if they want them. That explains this in detail and agrees with your assessment that assuming that the survey is updated, it is on two different deeds, and there is no need for subdivision. So per our lawyer's recommendation, our request is for a recess at this hearing for us to sort out the survey issue so that there's, you know, we feel that the almost 100% likelihood is that the survey issue will be settled in the next week at most, at which time we would withdraw the application. And otherwise, we would proceed if, for some reason, that we can't foresee there would be a need for the subdivision that we would proceed at the next meeting. So I think that you can answer the questions I have, but just to confirm that, so even though you don't have the references aren't correct, this parcel up here, which isn't identified as parcel. It's identified as lot A in their application. Lot A. So this is the parcel that was acquired subsequently in, like, the 50s sometime. And there hasn't been any conveyances off from that. It's just been the same since that was. One needed to use using a spring. I see, OK. Nothing else. And this is the property that would go to Ellen, right? And then this is the other parcel that was swapped or acquired in 1896, as we said. And that's what would go to the Zabriski's, right? OK, all right, so let's go. So we see any, I mean, that makes sense to me if you want a recess, as long as a recess. You go date certain. Date certain, so if we do it, do we know if we're having a meeting? Oh, would be the first one in January? Are we scheduled? There's nothing scheduled. If the attorneys confirm the title, and you were sent us a letter saying that, basically, two lots have been separately described and two different lots, I'm not sure we'd. Yeah, I mean, if there are two different deeds, then there's something close. Well, I think that the idea of being that as long as it is sorted out, they won't have to come back. Because those will draw the application. But if for some reason it's not, they want to have to be on the agenda. And they should know what the date is. I don't think so. Yeah. January 7. January 7? So do I? Before you do, I think I would just, you guys are going to file a new plat? Because this one's been filed now. So this one's. They would have to prepare a new plot, yes. Yeah, because it has some false information, right? Right, yeah. So do the plat that's, I'm trying to get the false plat out of the town record. That's what I'm trying to do. Can you get that unrecorded? Or does it have to stay in there in perpetuity as something that's wrong? That's what I'm trying to avoid. Yeah, it'd be a good idea to get taken out of there. Well, if it is sorted out and you file a new plat, can you say we would like this plat to replace the one that was submitted and then, you know, can we take it out? I would assume that's the case. I don't know, but I think we would have to find that out, yeah. Mark, our surveyor said that by the end of this week he would have the new one. Knowing him, he probably will slip it in the next week, but we expect he'll take care of getting the old plat taken out and replaced. But how that happens in the town clerk's office, I do not know. Neither do I. So that's something we would have to find out. No, that's a rosemary. That's a rosemary. My guess is that you would do that. It's a technical thing. You're not changing any of the lines. You're just changing the reference to the deeds. That's all. It's clear that both of these references are to the same page and so it's like... We don't want to scribe. Yeah. Well, it's just the compromise. So my guess is it's happened before, too, that people will file something and then they don't realize that there's a kind of mistake on it. And if no transactions occurred and nothing's relied on that, then I think you probably would say no, what is it, expression? No harm, no harm, no problem. That's all I wanted to say. Yeah, OK. Well, I guess I'm in motion to recess this to January 7th. 7th? Second. Any discussion? All in favor? Bye. So I think we just like that before that date comes, if you know that things are settled and send a letter to Tom saying, yeah, you're pulling it. Yeah, we're pulling it. We need to have this hearing. It's fun, isn't it? Good luck. Especially coming out of the snowy evening. Out of your margo, barn directly. It's getting there. Yeah. Oh, good. So I want to buy it today. So I'm going to make one. So the north side is pretty. I couldn't see the north side if you saw the south side. So I'm just curious. The smaller lot was a swap with the nice. No. No, OK. No, the big farm. The big farm was. Yeah. So they own that whole land in addition to where they ended up being? Or I'm just curious since we live in the house. I want to know some of the history. Oh, OK. Gardner Brig, Gardner. What's Gardner's last name at all? Dustin. Dustin. Gardner Dustin was a pretty old man. And since he was a pretty old man, he had much more farm than he needed up on the hill. A beautiful farm, actually. Before my brother let it go to hell. But anyhow, it was a beautiful farm. And the other man was an old man. And he wanted a small piece. And it was close to where the store was in the post office. OK, yeah. And so on at the time. So it was a, he raised sheep. He had sheep. If you look around, you will find some very nice pictures of him outside with his sheep. Oh. Against maybe the second town report has that. Oh. The town, I don't know, report on the town history. Yeah. I think you will find that in there. OK. That was the school house existing there? The one that's on the, you know, across from Comstock? Or is that hard to know? OK. That's the problem there. But what you want to do is come down sometime when they have a circle to find sheep. I know. Yeah. And definitely talk to. OK. Excuse me. Could we let this guy go? Yes. Talk to Richard Turner. Yeah. I have chocolate. OK.
