I. DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPOSAL
The Applicant owns ten adjacent 5,000 sq. ft. lots (Lots 10 & 15, 11 & 14, 8 & 17, 9 &
16 and 12 & 13 of Block 5) in the Travelers Highlands Subdivision located just south of
1-70 on State Highway 6 & 24 approximately 3 miles west of Parachute. The Applicant
requests approval to eliminate the line that presently separates the ten lots so that the
property becomes five 10,000 sq. ft. property parcels.
Ih AUTHORITY
Section 6:10 of the Subdivision regulations states that an amendment may be made to
a recorded plat, if such amendment does not 1) increase the number of subdivision lots
or dwelling units, or 2) result in the major relocation of a road or add new roads. This
request will not result in either of the two aforementioned standards and Staff finds
these standards are met. Further, this action will result in bringing the resulting lot size
into conformance with the minimum lot size of the CL zone district.
III. STAFF RECOMMENDATION
The Applicant has provided all required documentation and has satisfied the applicable
standards for a plat amendment, Therefore, the Planning Staff recommends that the
Board of County Commissioners, pursuant to Section 6:10 of the Subdivision
Regulations of 1984, as amended, approve the five amended plats request with the
following conditions:
1. That all representations of the Applicant, either within the application or stated at
the meeting before the Board, shall be considered conditions of approval.
2. That the title of the new plat shall read as follows:
