An owner wishing to adjust lot lines in an existing plat, as hereinabove defined in section 10-2-2 of this chapter, shall file an application with the planning director for administrative review. Additional information reasonably required for thorough review of the application and plat may be required of the applicant. The planning director shall provide written notice of said application to owners of property immediately adjacent to the subject property. Said notice shall inform adjacent property owners that they may comment on the application during a period of not less than fifteen (15) days after mailing of the notice and prior to final action on said application. Following expiration of the said comment period, and upon a finding by the planning director that the request conforms to the readjustment of lot line definition and is in compliance with the provisions of this chapter, the planning director shall approve same or approve with conditions necessary to find same in compliance with the provisions of this chapter. Upon a finding by the planning director that the application does not conform to said definition or is not in compliance with this chapter, the planning director shall deny said application and shall state the reasons therefor in writing. Upon approval of an application and upon satisfaction by the applicant of any conditions attached thereto, the planning director shall determine if the lot line adjustment requires a plat or may be done with other documentation filed with the county recorder. The owner may be required to bring adjacent public improvements up to city standards. The approval or rejection of the lot line adjustment can be appealed by an affected person within ten (10) days to the city council. (Ord. 1157, 10-18-2006)
