Feeney: This letter is in response to your letter dated October 8, 1992. You made reference to the Roger Sohnrey subdivision map that was 'approved by the Board of Supervisors on, April 7, 1992. However, there are many differences between the Sohnrey and Keeney subdivisions. Th,e first is 'that the Sohnrey subdivision application was submitted on August 24, 1990. Your application was submitted on January 24, 1992. Therefore, the facts and findings for each project vary significantly a, to their relationship with the Durham-Dayton-Nelson Plan that was nearing completion when your application was filed and was adopted on February 25, 1992. Attached is a copy of the Board of Supervisor's Minutes of April 7, 1992,pertaining to the approved :'action on the Sohnrey subdivision,, It is staffs opinion that the findings made for the aohnreyrproject do not set a precedent and do not apply for the Keeney property.
