DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPOSAL
The owner of Lots 9 and 1 0, Block 7 of the Willow Creek Village Subdivision request approval to amend
the lot line between Lots 9 and 10 so that the rear lot line of Lot 10 reflects an existing fence, landscaping
features and irrigation systems are located. Lot 9 is presently improved with a single-family home and a
single-family home is envisioned for Lot 10. The zoning for these two lots is LDR in the Battlement Mesa
PUD which allows a minimum lot size of 7,500 sq. ft. The rear setback for the property would also be
adjusted to coincide with the new lot line which is a minimum setback of 15 feet. If approved, I ,523 sq.
ft. will be exchanged between each lot. The lot square footages will result in the following change:
Present Lot9
ll,25l sq. ft.
Present Lot 10
l0,7ll sq. ft.
Amended Lot9
12,180 sq. ft.
Amended Lot 10
9,188 sq. ft.
II. 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. Lastly, the Battlement Mesa Service
Association reviewed the proposal and has no issue with the adjustment as reflected in their attached
letter.
