Summary

The board approved Resolution 12-25-01 granting a subdivision exemption to John Black and later modified the approval to be contingent on Mr. Black signing a statement of authority and the recorded plat, after staff raised concerns about missing signatures and trust authority documentation.

The Dolores County Board of County Commissioners approved a subdivision-exemption for John Black and then amended the approval to require additional paperwork before the county will record the plat.

Early in the Dec. 22 meeting the board moved to approve Resolution 12-25-01, a subdivision exemption for John Black; commissioners voted in favor. Later, staff raised concerns that required authority documents had not been submitted, noting the trustee form and a statement of authority needed to match the legal vesting on the deed.

Staff recommended the board make the plat approval contingent on Mr. Black signing the statement of authority and the plat before county staff would file and record the documents. The board adopted the modification, with a motion to make the resolution contingent on Mr. Black signing the required statement of authority and the plat. Commissioners voted in favor of the contingency.

What happens next: Staff will not record the plat until the applicant provides the signed statement of authority and signs the plat; staff will notify Mr. Black and request he appear to complete the required paperwork.
