Title
Committee action approving the First Amended Plat of the Homes by Janas Subdivision.
Staff Summary
• The subject subdivision is located approximately ¼ mile north of Route 137 along the west side of Route 21.
• The applicants, Timothy and Melanie Gustafson, own Lots 1 and 4 in the subject subdivision, with their residence located on Lot 4. The Gustafsons have requested an amendment to the Final Plat for the Homes by Janas Subdivision to amend the easement area to allow construction of a proposed garage north of the existing driveway on Lot 4.
