(a)
The planning and development department may distribute copies of the application materials
to the subdivision/development review committee for review and recommendation.
(b)
The subdivision/development review committee may consider and make recommendations
on applications for lot line adjustments to the decision-maker. One copy of such recommendation
shall be forwarded to the applicant at least ten days prior to the date on which the
matter is considered by the decision-maker.
(c)
The decision-maker approval with appropriate conditions as may be required under this
article shall authorize the county surveyor to file for record the appropriate documents
reflecting the lot line adjustment as approved. A notice of the lot line adjustment
shall be recorded with the deed of each property to be adjusted. Said notice shall
include the following:
(1)
Legal description for each adjusted parcel; and
(2)
Statement of the findings and conditions approving the lot line adjustment; and
(3)
For a lot line adjustment resulting in nonconforming (as to size) parcels which were
deemed not residentially developable, a statement that: "Parcel(s) ___________ were
deemed not residentially developable pursuant to the findings approving this Lot Line
Adjustment (Case No.___________)."
(d)
When the county surveyor is satisfied that the documents that are to be recorded to
complete the lot line adjustment are technically correct, conform to the approval
by the decision-maker, comply with all applicable laws and regulations, and that all
agreements and securities have been provided, the county surveyor shall note and execute
the county surveyor's certificate on the face of the appropriate documents to indicate
that the document(s) appears to be in conformity with the provisions of this article
and shall transmit the same to the county clerk-recorder for filing for record.
(e)
All deeds necessary to record the lot line adjustment shall be deposited with the
county surveyor for recording.
(f)
A lot line adjustment and all conveyances necessary to bring it into effect shall
expire unless recorded within thirty-six months of approval. This period of time may
be extended for an additional period or periods of time not to exceed a total of thirty-six
months by the decision-maker that approved the lot line for which the time extension
is requested, provided an application for a time extension(s) is submitted prior to
the date of expiration of the lot line adjustment.
1.
In addition to the thirty-six-month time extension provided in subsection (f) above,
the planning director for good cause may extend the expiration of an approved, unexpired
lot line adjustment for additional twenty-four-month periods in compliance with the
following:
(a)
The planning director has determined that a time extension is necessary due to an
economic hardship resulting from the continuing national economic downturn.
(b)
The application for the time extension is filed with the department in compliance
with the following:
(1)
The application shall be filed prior to the expiration of the lot line adjustment
that is the subject of the time extension request; however, an application may only
be filed within the six-month period immediately preceding the date that the lot line
adjustment would otherwise expire.
(c)
A time extension application shall be approved or conditionally approved only if the
director first finds that the findings for approval required in compliance with section 21-93 (Findings required for approval of a lot line adjustment) that were made in conjunction
with the initial approval of the lot line adjustment for which the time extension
is requested can shall be made.
(d)
The action of the planning director is final subject to appeal to the planning commission
in compliance with section 21-71.4 (Appeals).
This subsection (f)1 shall expire, and be of no further force or effect, on January
12, 2015, unless extended by ordinance.
