A. The purpose of this section and the following sections relating to the adjustment of lot lines between adjoining City lots is to provide a procedure by which two (2) or more contiguous lots or units of land located in the City of St. Maries may be adjusted without the filing of an amended plat.
B. The lot line adjustment process provides a simple procedure for the consolidation of lots by removing lot lines or to otherwise adjust a common lot line affecting existing parcels resulting in the exchange of property between adjacent lots.
C. Lot line adjustments add a parcel of land to an abutting lot or to otherwise exchange property between adjacent lots. Newly acquired land must be combined on the same deed for recording purposes as the remainder of the owner's parcel and shall thereafter be treated as combined with the adjoining parcel for development purposes and may not be separately transferred.
