The entire Parcel is currently fallow, except for the Ruiz's the residential structure and an adjoining Butler-type metal barn structure, both of which are adjacent to the western extension of Lehman Road. Since the new two-acre Parcel is proposed to be a Homesite Parcel, no new residential structures will be built on this future Parcel, or on the Remainder Parcel.
