Commissioners approve Pickens subdivision amendment to transfer corner parcel between neighbors
Summary
The board approved a subdivision amendment that transfers roughly half an acre from Suzanne Herman's Lot 2 to Neil and Terry Jones to square a skewed corner, keeping both resulting parcels compliant with setback and lot-size rules.
The Montezuma County Board of County Commissioners approved a proposed subdivision amendment that adjusts the boundary between properties in the Pickens two-lot subdivision, conveying roughly a half-acre at the southeast corner of Lot 2 to adjoining property owners Neil and Terry Jones.
Don Haley, planning director, described the request as essentially a boundary-line adjustment that required a formal subdivision amendment because the Herman parcel is inside the Pickens subdivision. The change will square off the southeast corner of the Herman property and move about a half-acre to the Jones parcel to ensure setback compliance; Haley said the Herman parcel will remain compliant at about 15 acres.
Haley told the board that Planning and Zoning unanimously recommended approval and asked that the county recognize a pipeline easement on the property; staff said the easement is not within the adjusted strip and would not affect the amendment.
Neil Jones, who acted as agent for the Joneses, and Suzanne Herman were present but offered no additional substantive comments during the hearing. No members of the public spoke for or against the application.
The board voted to accept the proceedings to approve the subdivision amendment; the clerk read the application as submitted by Suzanne Herman and Neil and Terry Jones, with the agent listed as Neil Jones and the property addresses at 13654 and 13526 Road 23, Dolores. The public notice included acreage figures of approximately 15.12 acres and 43.42 acres for the parcels involved.
