3 New lots

John and Laura just divided 3 new lots off of 2 exsisting ones (now there's 5).
What changes follow the creation of new lots?
1. Property taxes for the new lots.
2. Utilities need to be brought to the lots, and eventually we will build duplexes on the new lots. John has been working with the City of Sweet Home Oregon to get approval for the division long before it was done.
The city is putting a new sewer line in soon, and has told us that we have a limited amount of time of installing a manhole and pipes while the old road is still there. The city does not want people to cut into the new road they will be putting in ... so ... it takes money to have the job done ($7,000 bid).
They are wondering if that's a good use of money in this economy.
Any comments about this project?
