The decision allows the Butterfield Family Living Trust to subdivide the 1.3-acre property while preserving an open-space parcel. The approval includes reducing the existing home’s front setback from 20 feet to 16 feet and requires standard staff conditions, boundary markers, and resolution of outstanding engineering comments before final occupancy. One board member opposed the permit, citing concerns that the open space did not fully reflect the intent of the zoning provision.
