Planning commission recommends vacation of lot lines for Larson property, asks for access easement
Summary
The Custer County Planning Commission voted to recommend that the Board of County Commissioners approve a request to reorient lot lines in the Boondouse Subdivision (Lots 78 and 79) to allow feasible building sites; the commission required a recorded access easement for the second lot and noted final approval rests with the BOCC.
The Custer County Planning Commission on a recommendation vote advanced a request to vacate and reconfigure lot lines in the Boondouse Subdivision so two lots can be built without homes straddling property lines.
The applicant told commissioners that the original lot lines left potential building sites on the center line of narrow, 1,200-foot-deep lots on a ridge with ravines on both sides. Commissioners said the proposed change — reorienting the dividing line so building sites sit within each lot’s boundaries — resolved practical building constraints.
Commission members asked about future well and septic permitting and confirmed the acreage per lot would not change. Planning staff said the commission required the applicants to provide a formal access easement to the second lot; that easement is now shown on the submitted plan.
The commission moved and recommended approval of the vacation of lot lines. Commissioners emphasized this action is a recommendation: the BOCC must review the filing, and final deeds and platting must be recorded before any change in legal description becomes effective.
Commissioners also discussed recording and deed issues. They advised the applicants that, once recorded, deeds should reflect the new plat names (Parcel A/Parcel B or new lot numbers) so title companies and future sales will not face conflicting legal descriptions.
The commission’s recommendation includes a note that the final recorded plat and deeds must be consistent and that any required surveyor amendments be completed before the BOCC’s final action.
