acre 'home site' parcels, leaving the remaining 77.60 acres vacant for farm use (the "Farm <br />Parcel"). <br />6. After the Application was initially submitted, the Applicant revised its' development plan, <br />reducing the proposed homesites from the initial four (4) residential parcels to a proposed three <br />(3) rural residential parcels (measuring approximately 2.80 acres, 2.36 acres, and 2.13 acres in <br />size) (the "Homesites"), and increasing the size of the remnant Farm Parcel to approximately <br />78.31 acres. <br />7. Applicant modified its request to reflect this change. Applicant is now requesting the <br />application of two (2) independent Goal 3 Exception Areas (the "Exception Areas"). The first <br />would be applied to the three (3) proposed homesites to facilitate the development of parcels <br />that are too constrained to be practicably farmed. The second would be applied to the Farm <br />Parcel to allow Applicant to consolidate the farmable area in a sub-80-acre parcel (78.31 acres, <br />representing an acreage reduction below the minimum 80 acres by 1.69 acres). Applicant is <br />also requesting a zone change and corresponding comprehensive plan amendment for only the <br />Homesites. The Farm Parcel will continue to be zoned EFU and designated for agricultural use, <br />while the Homesites will be zoned AR and designated for residential use. <br />8.

Mr. Lulay testified regarding the uniqueness of the <br />Property. Mr. Lulay addressed that the original landowner, Mr. Updegrave, wanted twenty <br />three (23) two -to -five -acre parcels to maintain the "farm character" of the Property. Mr. Lulay <br />testified that the development of the three (3) residential parcels would allow the neighborhood <br />to have the financial viability to protect the Farm Parcel from development.
