Summary

The board approved Resolution 12-25-01 granting a subdivision exemption for John Black but later modified the action to make the exemption contingent on Mr. Black signing the required statement of authority and the plat before the county will record it.

The Dolores County Board of County Commissioners moved Dec. 22 to approve Resolution 12-25-01, a subdivision-exemption application for John Black, and later modified that action to require Mr. Black to sign the statement of authority and the plat before the county will file the documents.

Commissioner Sty made the original motion to approve the subdivision exemption and the board voted to adopt the resolution. Later in the meeting, commissioners noted Mr. Black had not appeared to execute the required authority documents; the board amended the earlier approval to make the exemption contingent on his signing the statement of authority and the plat.

County staff said the applicant had visited staff but did not complete the required signature steps, and commissioners expressed concern about approving a filing before the applicant signs the documents needed to record the plat. A motion to modify Resolution 12-25-01 and make it contingent on Mr. Black signing both the statement of authority and the plat passed unanimously.

What happens next: the county will not record the exemption or accept the plat for filing until Mr. Black signs the statement of authority and the plat; staff will notify the applicant to return and complete the paperwork.
