Board approves access arrangement and narrow-right-of-way split for Littles and Greens, tied to quiet-title mediation
Loading...
Summary
After a protracted history and a mediated court order, the board approved a variance allowing a 20-foot access split on Charlton Avenue so the Littles can secure rear-lot access, subject to documentation, a hold-harmless agreement and a nonappealable court order vacating the right of way.
The board approved a request tied to an ongoing quiet-title/mediation matter that would let James R. Jr. and Kendra Little secure a minor subdivision and access across an unplatted strip of Charlton Avenue, subject to conditions.
A bank representative and counsel described a mediated agreement reached outside of court; the board was told a temporary court order exists and that the board’s action would permit the mediated solution to be recorded and incorporated into a final quiet-title resolution. Adjoining owner Jacob Green (speaker 16) said losing a 20-foot strip would remove his only access to the rear of his property and affect a pole barn; he said he would not agree to convey his interest without protections. Transcript exchange indicated both sides were prepared to accept a roughly 22-foot split so that each party would have access.
Board members concluded the legal history and the mediated court order supported the variance and approved the application with conditions including a recorded hold-harmless agreement, minor-subdivision approval, nonappealable court action confirming the right-of-way division, and recording of required documents.
Next steps: staff will circulate the draft hold-harmless language for signatures and the applicants will coordinate recording and any court filings as required.
