Commission meeting minutes as presented.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON SAVAGE DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
1. PUBLIC HEARING:
Consideration of a Preliminary Plat, PS #01-04, by Dale Anderson to divide the property
between two lots, generally located at 1400 Kerry Circle and 6175 Heather Place.
MOTION by Ms. Johns, seconded by Mr. Saba, to open the public hearing.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON SAVAGE DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED AND THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED AT 7:32 P.M.
Mr. Bolin stated that the petitioners, Dale Anderson and Paul Hilborn (1400 Kerry Circle), are
seeking to formally recognize what was erroneously perceived to be the lot line befinreen the
properties. Both property owners moved into their homes in 1999 and were both under the
assumption that the fence separating their rear yards was the actual property line. Mr.
Anderson made a retaining wall on what was actually Mr. Hilborn's property. To resolve this,
the Hilborns agreed to sell a portion of their property and replat Mr. Anderson's property to
correct that encroachment. City Code requires that lots in the R-1 District have a minimum of
75 feet in width and a minimum lot area of 9,000 square feet. Both lots far exceed both
requirements when completed and both will meet the City's setback requirements.
Mr. Bolin stated that the petitioners have agreed on a new property line and through this plat
process the City is gaining utility and drainage easement that should have been included when
the properties were originally platted in the 1980s. Staff recommends approval with one
stipulation that the petitioner shall provide all easements as shown on the preliminary plat
� drawing.

,--� Ms. Savage asked if he has had any calls about this.
Mr. Bolin stated that he has had three calls from curious neighbors for information on the
situation. Not one had any objections.
Mr. Dale Anderson, 6175 Heather Place, stated that there was a property marker in 1990 at
both ends of the fence so it was a natural assumption that was the lot line. About two months
ago, a neighbor to the south was doing an extension and had a surveyor come out to make sure
where the lots lines were. The neighbor showed Mr. Hilbom and him where the property line
was at that time. He had been doing a lot of work on a perennial garden and retaining wall near
the assumed property line. They came up with a fair dollar figure, and he agreed to it. Now
they are trying to find out what steps to take next. The next step is to put some mylars in the lot
line. They have checked with the mortgage and title company for advice and there is no issue
there.
Ms. Savage asked if Mr. Anderson has any problem with the stipulation.
Mr. Anderson stated that he did not.
MOTION by Mr. Kondrick, seconded by Mr. Saba, to close the public hearing.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON SAVAGE DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED AND THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED AT 7:40 P.M.
� Mr. Kondrick stated that he had no problems with this request, and he is happy the neighbors
could get together and work it out.
Ms. Johns stated that it is a win/win situation.
MOTION by Mr. Saba, seconded by Mr. Kondrick, to recommend approval of PS #01-04 with
one stipulation:
1. The petitioner shall provide all easements as shown on the preliminary plat drawing.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON SAVAGE DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
