Council OKs new lot-line adjustment procedure for platted property
Summary
Basehor approved ordinance 9-54 to allow county-recorded lot-line adjustments for platted parcels, subject to staff review and limitations to avoid creating nonconforming lots.
The council adopted ordinance 9-54 to add a lot-line (property-line) adjustment process to the municipal code. Planning and zoning director Jim Sherman said the change permits lot-line adjustments for platted property — for example, to allow modest building additions or facilitate lot splits — provided the resulting lots do not become nonconforming and the adjustments are recorded with the county register of deeds.
The change establishes an application processing period (noted in staff remarks as one year) and treats lot-line adjustments as a staff-review action similar to lot splits. Councilmember Sherry moved approval and the ordinance passed 5-0.
