Prospective buyer advised that small Dale Wall lot is unlikely buildable under current rules
Summary
A prospective buyer asking about a small lot next to Justin Carlisle was told Wallsburg requires one acre minimum to build unless the owner proves an existing lot of record dated before 08/11/1965; lack of culinary water and Main Creek boundaries also block building.
Alicia O'Driscoll presented correspondence from a potential buyer, identifying himself as Kim Hanson, who asked what would be required to build on a small lot next to Justin Carlisle (the Dale Wall parcel). Planning staff reiterated the town's minimum lot size of one acre for new building permits and explained that a parcel can only be treated as buildable if the owner proves it is an existing lot of record (original deed pre-dating 08/11/1965 and an exact current survey).
Staff also reported the lot currently lacks a culinary water connection and that Main Creek Water may not approve a transfer; that water transfer process can take about 120 days if pursued. Commissioners recommended the buyer obtain historical deed and survey paperwork and contact the health department and Main Creek to clarify septic and culinary water issues before incurring additional expense.
