APC approves plat amendment to clear 2025 deed split for Shotmer property
Summary
The commission approved a staff-recommended minor plat amendment to legalize two lots split by deed in 2025, subject to standard building, drainage and driveway permits and a note preventing future subdivision to be recorded on the plat.
The commission approved petition 26W-25-144 to amend a minor plat and establish legal boundaries for Lots 1A and 1B that were split by deed in 2025. Staff said the plat correction is intended to allow the new lot owner to obtain a building permit; required permits include a septic and well permit, a drainage permit, and a driveway permit from the highway department. Staff also noted a 1997 approval had conditioned the subdivision on adding a no-further-subdivision statement but that language did not appear in the recorded documents.
Petitioner Jason Shumpert, who said he purchased the lot April 1, 2025, described discovering the discrepancy after closing and asked the commission to approve the correction so he could proceed with a building permit. "It was not until later in April that we found out that something had gone astray before the purchase took place," Shumpert said. The commission approved the plat amendment with conditions to add the required comments and include a statement that Lots 1A and 1B shall not be further subdivided.
