Commissioner Gustaveson stated that he felt the town of Chapel ^, Hill should be affbrted the opportunity to review the proposed sub- , division and to comment on the plans and the plat prior to this Board's ~... final approval.

Commissioner Pinney stated that he had learned that a building permit had been issued for construction of a duplex apartment and that this land .was located on the Chapel Hill watershed and that the lot was undersized. He had been contacted by one of the adjacent property owners concerning the proposed construction. Hezekiah Dobson stated that the property in question was a "lot of record" and that the Ordinance allows a "lot of record" to be used for residential purpose. Roland Wagner, Building Inspector, read from Section Orie (1) of the State Building Code and this section stated that the Code allows up to a three (3) family residence on a "lot of record". Hezekiah Dobson stated that if the lot perked then you could not refuse to issue a Building Permit and that the soil of this property perked fairly well and was of the type that is suitable far septic tank installation.
