Owner raises boundary discrepancies in Red Valley Heights; commission outlines plat-amendment process

Property owner Lance Maxwell presented a survey showing discrepancies between recorded subdivision lines and existing fence lines at Red Valley Heights. Maxwell said adjacent owners (Daniel and Lisa Smith and the Chamberlains, represented by Glenn) agreed to a boundary-by-acquiescence but that the recorded plat must be amended to reflect the fence line.

Commissioners explained that amending a recorded plat requires following the town’s subdivision procedures: submit a concept plan to the administrative land-use authority (once designated), prepare a preliminary plat with required elements, obtain engineer and attorney signatures, hold a public hearing before the Planning and Zoning Commission, then forward the final plat to the Land Use Authority for signature and recordation. Commissioners noted the Town Council intends to designate an administrative land-use authority at its next meeting; that designation will streamline some steps.

No formal vote or recommendation on the plat amendment was taken at the meeting. Commissioners advised Maxwell to work with town staff (and a surveyor and attorney) to prepare the preliminary plat and to return for a public hearing once materials are complete.
