County approves Lawson Hill lot-line vacation to combine Conoco parcels; PUD matrix amended
Summary
San Miguel County commissioners approved a subdivision exemption vacating the lot line between Lawson Hill parcels (hub 1 and hub 2af) to create a 2.26-acre lot and authorized an insubstantial PUD amendment to combine development allocations to facilitate expansion of the Conoco gas station.
The San Miguel County Board of County Commissioners voted Jan. 22 to vacate the property line between Lawson Hill parcels Hub 1 (0.8353 acres) and Hub 2af (1.42 acres), combine those parcels under a single lot and sign off on an insubstantial PUD amendment to the Lawson Hill development matrix.
Nicola Kerr, Associate Planner, explained the request and said one parcel currently houses a Conoco gas station and the other is used for long-term overflow parking and EV charging. Kerr said the replat will vacate a drainage easement and a utility easement that previously served the two separate lots, and it will create a single new lot (Hub 1af) of about 2.26 acres.
Tom Kennedy, representing Gordon Enterprises (the owner), told the board the applicant is not asking for additional density or new uses; they are reallocating existing footprints and parking allocations across a single combined lot to make an expansion more efficient. “We’re not proposing to increase any of the uses or densities. It’s just a more efficient way to utilize the property,” Kennedy said.
Kerr said the Lawson Hill Property Owners Association and county reviewers, including the county surveyor Mr. Foley, had been contacted; no public comments were received and Mr. Foley indicated his comments were addressed and approved the final plat.
Commissioner Gleeson moved to approve the subdivision exemption and authorize the chair’s signature on the final plat; Commissioner Waring seconded. The motion passed unanimously. The board then separately authorized the chair to sign the proposed insubstantial PUD amendment; that motion also passed unanimously.
The county’s staff memo contained a final-plat condition that staff later removed after Mr. Foley’s approval; the board adopted the motions as presented.
