John Black subdivision exemption tabled after trustee authority missing

Dolores County Board of Commissioners · December 15, 2025

Summary

The board tabled final approval of John Black's subdivision-exemption request after staff said the trustee had not filed required authority; the item was moved to the Dec. 22 meeting for completion of documents.

The Dolores County Board of Commissioners on Dec. 15 deferred final action on a subdivision-exemption application for John Black after staff reported the trustee authority had not been filed.

County staff told the board the trustee named on the draft plat was incorrect and that “apparently he had not he had not filed his um authority,” and that the needed documents were delivered to Mr. Black but were not yet recorded. The board agreed it could not approve the exemption without the signed and filed trustee authority and laid the item on the table.

Board members also discussed recurring problems when vesting names on plats do not match recorded title ownership. A staff member urged stronger evidence of ownership before plat approval, saying, “I do feel like we really need to push for a vesting deed,” to avoid later title mismatches and costly corrections. The board instructed staff to bring the item back for final action at the Dec. 22 meeting once the authority is filed.
