We have to divide our 8 acre property because we renovated a barn which ended up creating a second residence. We have enough frontage to do this according to the county we live in which is only 150 ft. per parcel, but not enough for the village we live in which is 300 ft. We also have to attempt to create lot lines that will be "approximate" rectangles as per the village code. The rectangle also has restrictions on length to width. In order for us to do this to satisfy the Village code dated 2017, we have to split up the main house, the barn, and the existing pole shed. The way it needs to be done would make the individual properties we have now created extremely undesirable for resale. In fact only a person not of right mind would ever want to purchase either property individually. The two structures will share a well, a mound system and a driveway. The well and the mound are sufficient for both dwellings and the property line would be right down the middle of a huge driveway anyhow. Can we place a deed restriction on the two parcels that says both parcels need to be sold together to the same owner. The problem with having two (should some crazy person decide they don't mind the weirdness the town is forcing us to create) is that the shared well and mound would most likely become a major issue in the future. Not to mention so many other things that will be weird after this property division is created.
