Summary

After approving a subdivision exemption for John Black, the board modified the action to be contingent on the applicant signing a statement of authority and the plat before recordation, citing concerns that the applicant had not appeared to sign required documents.

The board approved a subdivision exemption for John Black (Resolution 12-25-01) but later modified that approval to be contingent on the applicant signing the required statement of authority and the plat. Staff and commissioners said Mr. Black did not appear at the meeting and that the county had not yet received his executed authority needed for recordation. One commissioner moved to add the contingency and the motion passed.

A staff member explained that the statement of authority must match the deed exactly and that Huddleston's (the applicant's representative) previously corrected a naming error on the original plat. To reduce the risk of future problems, the board voted to make final approval contingent on Mr. Black returning to sign the plat and the authority documents before filing.
