Summary
A proposal to split a 0.89-acre lot near Maple Grove into four lots drew strong opposition from the horse-country-style Town and Country Estates neighborhood, which fears the bottleneck on Shoop Avenue, strained well water, and a domino effect of lot splits. Commissioners saw compatible infill next to existing R-1B zoning.
