Public Hearings
LU# 10-14-7: Daniel & Margaret Borstad, - Block 231, Lots 26 & 27, - Lot Line Relocation
Mr. Caffrey came forward and was sworn in by the board attorney. Mr. Caffrey is a licensed land surveyor and represents Mr. Borstad the applicant. Mr. Caffrey presented a lot line revision. The line between the two lots is jagged and the revisions show a straight line. The acreage will stay the same for both lots and the topography works well with the new property line. Mr. Borstad has approximately 10 feet of bamboo with the property dropping off naturally after the bamboo. Mr. Stoner would like to see a final description of the properties after completion along with both deeds.
