The applicants propose to combine the two lots into one and build a single family house on the lot There was some discussion about how to integrate this proposal with the work to be done by Mark Moore It may become necessary for the Board to amend its earlier decision The Board agreed to strive for an equitable distribution of the work to be done in this area Mrs Davison asked if the applicants would agree to a legal restriction preventing the building of two dwellings on this lot.
