Resident seeks lot-line adjustments; commission recommends deeding nearby road to town

Susan Law brought a surveyor to the Cornish Town Planning and Zoning meeting on May 20 to ask about changing the current parcel configuration on her property so she could convey additional land to her children. The request was heard as a business item during the commission’s regular meeting at Cornish Town Hall.

Commissioners explained that if Law keeps the property divided into three parcels she would not need to file a subdivision application; instead, they advised her to consult Cache County about a lot-line adjustment. The commission also recommended that, while the survey work is under way, Law pursue deeding the adjacent road to the town “so that if it needs to happen in the future it’s already done,” to simplify any future maintenance or access changes. That recommendation came from the commission’s discussion of practical next steps rather than from a formal motion recorded in the minutes.

The discussion was procedural and advisory: the commission did not vote on any land-use approvals or take formal action on the parcel configuration at the May 20 meeting. Commissioners encouraged Law to work with the county on the technical lot-line procedure and to continue coordination with town staff if she pursues the road deeding process.

The meeting record notes that citizens Susan Law and Brian Allen attended and that the commission will retain usual permitting and county coordination steps if Law moves forward. No dates or fee estimates for county filings or a road-deeding process were specified at the meeting.
