Commission approves Timber Subdivision rearrangement to create four single-family lots
Summary
City Planner Kent Jarcik presented a plat to rearrange Lots 1R–8R, Block 6R into four single-family home lots of roughly 7,200 square feet; commissioners approved the plat but Jarcik noted a tax-foreclosure title cloud and property cleanup requirements before final recordation.
The Williston Board of City Commissioners approved a plat for the Timber Subdivision Aug. 12 that rearranges Lots 1R–8R, Block 6R into four single-family home lots roughly 7,200 square feet in size.
City Planner Kent Jarcik explained the proposal converts land previously configured for twinhomes into larger single-family lots, which the planner said will better match nearby uses and reduce potential on-street parking demand. He told commissioners the lots will have direct access to 25th Avenue West and access to water and sewer infrastructure.
Jarcik also flagged a title issue: the Title Opinion indicates the property was taken from the former owner for nonpayment of taxes, creating a cloud on title. To clear the defect before recordation the planner said the city needs either a conveyance from the previous record owner or a quiet-title judgment. He also said the property must be cleaned of junk and storage, final redline corrections completed and then the final plat recorded.
Commissioner Lucas Gjovig moved to approve the Timber Subdivision rearrangement; Commissioner James Bervig seconded. The roll-call vote recorded AYE from Bervig, Gjovig, Bekkedahl, Siemieniewski and Klug; the motion carried 5-0.
The minutes record approval subject to the listed requirements; they do not state a recordation date or identify the former record owner by name.
