I. DESCRIPTION OF SITE AND PROPOSAL
The application involves two parcels located along County Road 100, just north of
Carbondale off Catherine Store Road. The original owner, Mr. Frank Pennig, was granted
a Subdivision Exemption in 1978 of 19.966 acres via Resolution 78-36.
The Hallidays purchased the property in 1984. Two deeds were prepared in the 1978
Subdivision and 1983 Court stipulation. They were recorded as Reception Nos. 353712
and 353713 but currently is identified as one parcel at the Assessor.
The proposed amended final plat is to record the property as two separate parcels and
amend the boundary line between the two parcels to follow the existing fence line and to
document the Court stipulation. Parcel 1 would be 10.702 acres while parcel 2 would be
10.532 acres. Two new deeds would be created based on the legal creation of the two
parcels.

Subject:RE: Amended Final Plat for Pennig Subdivision Exemption
Good Morning Heather,
Apologies for my delayed response, I’ve been extremely busy lately and I’m just getting a chance to catch up on my
referrals. I took a look at the proposed plat and it appears to be in a form I could use to update the Assessor’s
records for the Lot Line Adjustment once approved/recorded. I did have two comments that I think would help this
project along, which are:
It doesn’t look like Resolution 78-36 was ever recorded, and given the fact that it’s what created the lots
subject to the amended plat, I think it should now be recorded.
I’d like to see a surveyor’s note explaining the diƯerence in bearings/distances between the record
descriptions and those noted in the field, just for historic research purposes in the future.
Aside from that this looks good as far as my oƯice’s needs, and as always thanks for tagging me in on this I
appreciate it and hope you have a great morning!
