Planner Boling informed the Board that those requesting the <br />vacation of these lots are Visa Building Corporation, the <br />developer of the proposed project on this site which owns most of <br />these parcels, and three other persons who own small lots within <br />this land - Roberta F. Tefft, Vincent L. Paulson, and John and <br />Theresa Maguire. Mr. Boling explained that this plat vacation <br />needs to be done prior to a final plat approval for a 12 lot <br />subdivision which is in process and should be coming before the <br />Board in the next few weeks. <br />Mr. Boling then briefly reviewed the history of why this <br />matter is before the Board and how it got to this point. He <br />informed the Board that last February this property that is to be <br />vacated received site plan approval for a 12 unit multi -family <br />building, which was proposed to be a rental townhouse type <br />building; building permits were pulled; construction was <br />underway; and then toward the end of July, it came to the <br />attention of a staff member that these units were being sold and <br />land was being conveyed with them. Planning staff, therefore, <br />wrote a letter to Visa Corporation telling them that they needed <br />to plat if they were going to convey land. They began to process <br />platting this land, and on September 21st they got preliminary <br />plat approval from the Planning & Zoning Commission. <br />Commissioner Wodtke wished to know how they can build on <br />property before they have it platted. <br />Attorney Brandenburg explained that they originally proposed <br />this as a multiple family rental unit. When you build a rental <br />unit, you are not selling off any of the property and there are <br />no lot lines; therefore, at the time they made that assertion to <br />the County, they met all County codes. Where they ran into <br />problems with the County requirements was when they set up a <br />homeowners' association and some other documents for the purpose <br />of conveying title to each one of the units, at which time the <br />County ordinance requires them to plat. When they came in to <br />plat, a new set of regulations came into effect with respect to <br />25 <br />N O V 14 1984 Box 58 pnE 8v <br />I <br />
