body
BRIEF OVERVIEW
This subject property (Key No. 1765799) is located approximately 949.0 feet West of Chesaco Road. The applicants David and Nydia Collins submitted a Class D Subdivision application to create two (2) parcels from the approximate 17.55-acre parcel; Parcel A would be approximately 14.8 +/- acres and the Parcel B would be 2.75 +/- acres.

Should the Board determine that a hardship is warranted, Section 26-3(f) of the Hernando County Code of Ordinances requires compliance with items (1) through (3) listed in the Legal Note, and the Board should authorize the Chairman's signature upon the approval resolution, which will be recorded in the official records.
