Discussion of Morning Glory Estates III Lot Split 6101 E. Caballo Lane
Body

The applicant, LLC. DK Real Estate Holdings is requesting approval of a lot split to subdivide a 2.5-acre parcel into two lots. New Lot 13 is 54,416 square feet in size (1.249 acres) and new Lot 14 is 54,335 square feet in size (1.247 acres). The subject property is located at 6101 E. Caballo Lane.
