Land split for Vanleigh Ranch delayed after planning and zoning, survey paperwork issues
Summary
A resident seeking to transfer a 3.02-acre parcel at Vanleigh Ranch told commissioners the closing was delayed while planning and zoning and survey signatory blocks are corrected; staff said the matter will be heard by the planning commission Feb. 6.
Becky Spady told the Keith County Commissioners during the public forum that a planned transfer of a 3.02-acre parcel from Vanleigh Ranch to her son and daughter-in-law has been delayed as county staff and the surveying office reconcile how the parcel should be processed under local regulations.
Spady said she applied in October and expected the matter to proceed administratively; she said Dickinson's (the survey office) created a mylar and that staff had previously indicated Cody in the county office was authorized to sign administrative minor land requests (MILR). "I made application in October... I did never get a call back... it's dragged out," Spady said. She said a closing scheduled for Friday was pushed back roughly three weeks.
County staff told the board they had held two meetings with the attorney, the survey office and planning staff and that there has been disagreement about whether the 3.02-acre request qualifies as a "minor subdivision" under county subdivision regulations. A county staff member said she had been instructed by planning and zoning not to sign administratively until Dickinson's office provided additional information; Dickinson's office said it would rework the MILR to remove individual names from signature blocks and leave an office title ("chairman" or "office") so the form can be signed at the meeting.
Commissioners and staff said the application is scheduled for the Feb. 6 planning commission meeting and, if the planning commission approves, the item will return to the county commission. One staff member said, "I'm going to present it to the planning commission to make that decision," and noted that the goal is to provide the planning commission a complete PDF of the MILR before Feb. 6.
No formal action by the board was taken; commissioners and staff directed preparation of revised survey/signature blocks and to present the MILR to planning and zoning at its February meeting.
