Summary

A property owner presented a boundary adjustment to combine two parcels and increase the main parcel by about 4'4.5 acres; the board granted preliminary approval July 6, pending receipt of a formal survey and final title documents.

A landowner appeared July 6 to present a boundary adjustment affecting a main 248.257-acre parcel and a second adjacent parcel. The applicant (speaker S3) explained the proposal would eliminate a small irregular point and increase one parcel by roughly 4 to 4.5 acres, noting the change was intended to create a more regular shape rather than to subdivide land.

Staff told the board the proposal was not a subdivision because it did not create new lots or reduce existing lots below minimum size thresholds. Commissioners discussed title issues (joint tenancy vs. other holdings) and asked the applicants to ensure the adjusted parcels are titled correctly to preserve grant or ownership conditions. The board moved to grant preliminary approval and conditioned final approval on receipt of a recorded survey and completion of title paperwork; staff indicated the item would be placed on a future agenda for final action once the survey was filed.

The motion for preliminary approval passed. Staff asked the applicants to contact the county clerk and schedule the final approval on a subsequent agenda after recording.

Next steps: applicant to submit the recorded survey and title documentation; county staff to schedule final approval once documentation is complete.
