Review
Deadline July 13, 2024
BACKGROUND
Jerry Anderson, on behalf of the property owners of 14.032.20.43.0008 & 14.032.20.43.0010,
has proposed an expansion of the existing structure at 21190 Ozark Avenue North, known as
Scandia Plaza. The applicant is proposing either a lot line adjustment or lot combination to
accommodate the expansion of the existing structure. Regardless of the subdivision process, an
easement vacation is required to vacate the drainage and utility easement on the shared lot line
between the two properties.
EVALUATION OF REQUEST
Staff Analysis
The applicant is proposing either a lot line adjustment or a lot combination. If the lot line
adjustment is requested, the existing drainage and utility easement will become unnecessary and
a new easement will be required on the new lot line. If the lots are combined, the existing
drainage and utility easement will be unnecessary and any required easements for drainage will
be required as part of the site plan review for the property.
