Upon questioning by Chairman Lentz, Building Official Ernesto
Buenrostro stated that all of the above had been complied with
except for the signatures of lienholders as it was determined
there were none.
Mr. Buenrostro explained that the developer had encountered some
problems resulting in the need for abandonment of a section of
right-of-way by the City. Council should act on this at the
November 26th meeting and the plat will not be recorded until the
abandonment occurs.
Russell Plank of Sunset Meadows gave a brief history of the
situation wherein one of the nearby homeowners felt a roadway
would be put in where none was wanted. Despite reassurances by
the representatives of Sunset Meadows, legal action was taken by
a group of homeowners and Mr. Plank stated they felt, after
looking at many courses of action, that the simplest plan would
be to ask the City to abandon the right -of -way and replat the
area, even though they would lose one lot in the process as well
as incurring other expenses.
The Commission discussed abandonment procedures, relocation of
the utilities, and access to the subdivision. Chairman Lentz
suggested that the ownership of a a 25' strip of land at the end
of Chester Drive be clarified. Mr. Plank stated it was given to
the Civic Association and he would modify the plat accordingly.
It was moved by Clyde Starns, seconded by Leroy Savoie, that the
partial amended plat of Sunset Meadows be approved subject to the
abandonment of the right -of -way, the conditions listed in Ernesto
Buenrostro's memo having been met, and the plat is to show that
there is no roadway on the east side of the property.
In discussion, it was noted that the replatting laws have been
met and the plat is being amended in accordance with same.
Motion passed 5 to 0.
