( 1. On June 7, 1977, Dennis & Wendy Zerwas and Donald & Mary Zerwas, signed separate purchase agreements to purchase 2i acres each, of the 5 acres that Ken Carpenter was selling through Burnet Realty. 2. That same week, Wendy Zerwas called Mrs. Prachar to inquire about building requirements and minimum building size of the land. She gave me the name and phone number of building inspector, Gene Mobley, and told me to talk to him. I told Mrs. Prachar our intentions and the area we were planning on building. I asked about sewer assess- ments for that area and I was told that the sewer system would only go down to the dirt road and no farther. (private development) The land is just south of that road. She said it would be at least 20 years until they continued sewer down that road. I was not told of any other ordinance on size of building site. Dennis Zerwas called and talked to Mrs. Prachar soon after that and got this same information about the area. 3. That same day I talked to Mrs. Prachar, I talked to Mr. Mobley on the phone. He told me that the minimum land requirement was 2i acres and the minimum sq. foot of the house was 1000 sq ft. He to~d this same information to Mary Zerwas, when she called him. My husband, Dennis, and our builder, Bob Heck also talked to Mr. Mobley. Each was given the impression that we were going to be able to build. We each had 2i acres and our houses are 1008 sq ft. We got a buildable perculation test. This was done on July 16th. I took the results of our perc test to Mr. Mobley on July 18th, and he said that at a rate of )0 min (for perc test) we are going to need 250", per bedroom or a total of 750' of drain field. I told him that my in-laws perc test was completed but I did not have the report on it yet. Their perc test came out to be )0 minutes also. I then obtained a bid for our septic system. I also asked Mr. Mobley if there was any cost involved in splitting 5 acres in half. He said no there was not. (I was told to check on this by our builder who said that some areas have a cost to split acreage.) Mr. Mobley knew where we were planning to build because he told my husband and I that he had driven past the property and had seen the.men doing the perculation test on it. He wanted to make sure that we knew that the perculation tests must be taken where we were planning to build our houses. This first perc test was ordered by Mr. Carpenter. They did the tests in the middle of the property. When we found this out we ordered our own perc tests on the areas that we planned to put our houses. We also had a survey done of the property for our mortgage co. One final word on Mr. Mobley. I myself talked to him a few more times during the last 2 months and nothing was said of this ordinance of one house per 10 acres. 4. Dennis and Wendy's mortgage was approved on Au~ust 9. We have the 6i% interest mortgage with a total sales price of '37,500. If we are delayed to much, costs may go up and put us out of this price. Our appraisel came out good. Our builder buys the property and then puts it in our mortgage. The same builder is doing both houses. ~
