3. SUBDIVISIONS ^
Amended Plat, Lots 11 and 12, White Meadow View Place, 560 and 570 Ponderosa
Drive, Applicants: David Hazard, Richard Hodges, and Tom Peter. Paul Kochevar, the
applicant’s representative, was not able to attend this meeting, however, requested that the
proposal be reviewed and acted upon in his absence. Planner Shirk gave the staff report-
This is a request to amend Lots 11 and 12, White Meadovy View Place. Specifically, the
purpose is to officially recognize an illegal boundary line adjustmerit. The adjustment was
done in 1973, immediately following the adoption of the state subdivision requirements. The
lots were originally platted in the late 1930’s. The lot line adjustment, however, did not go
through a Town subdivision approval process. A structure had been built across the original
lot line; therefore, the boundary line adjustment was, and is, a measure to correcta rt°n'
conforming structure. Approval of the proposal would create a conforming building setback
for Lot 12A. Lot 11A will continue to have a non-conforming accessory structure. This plat
will formally dedicate a private access and general utility easement across Lot 12A to 11 A,
and vacate an unoccupied portion of right-of-way for Ponderosa Drive. This proposal meets
the subdivision design standards set forth in the Estes Valley Development Code. The
property is located within identified elk and deer habitat areas as identified on the Wildlife
Habitat Map, as set forth in the Estes Valley Comprehensive Plan. Based on the relatively
minor nature of this request. Staff has waived the requirements of Section 7.8 of the Estes
Valley Development Code. No significant issues or concerns were expressed by reviewing
staff relative to code compliance or the provision of public services. A common drive for
both lots is located in the northern portion of the subdivision. Staff recommends a shared
maintenance agreement.
Public Comment: . . .
Al Sager, representing Willa Jean Graves, an adjoining property owner, advised the final plat
submission was acceptable.
