Resident raises boundary dispute; council says it's a civil matter
Summary
Resident Larry Bridges told council that conflicting surveys suggest his house may encroach on a neighbor's lot; council said the dispute is civil and the city cannot resolve competing surveys or locate missing pins.
Larry Bridges addressed the council to report a property-line dispute with a neighbor on Campfire Circle after receiving notice that his house might be on the neighbor’s lot. Bridges said conflicting surveys done by different surveyors disagree and neither surveyor can locate a pin. He noted his home was built in 2020 with a city-issued building permit and requested council awareness of the situation.
Council explained that boundary disputes between private property owners are civil matters and the city has limited authority to intervene; councilmembers suggested Bridges may need to present evidence in court or use county tax-assessor records as part of a civil case. No formal action was taken.
