Do you know the jurisdiction this is in? Lot line adjustment plats are not a thing in many places.?ÿ
Everywhere is different, but how can the new lot be created without the vacation?
Seems like then there are three descriptions, the new lot, and the two old ones, all would be valid. If you have that situation why bother with combining the lots? Just get any easements under the new construction removed. Vacations aren't a big deal here with county/city executing the vacations at plat approval, a small fee for the title document,?ÿ but they have to get done to get the new configuration.?ÿ
@mightymoe?ÿ Its done all the time.?ÿ Lot are platted over and adjusted and combined daily without plat vacations.
I have never seen or heard of a plat vacation being done in my 30 years around here.?ÿ It's most likely an old code that is irrelevant. But, as bionicman mentions, there is a procedure for it.
In my county this would be a new subdivision plat.
The title block would look like this:
NAME OF SUBDIVISION
a Replat of Lot 10R of Subdivision A (Reception #__) and Lot 45R of Subdivision B (Reception #__),
Section, Township, Range, Meridian, City and/or County, State
The lots could be 1 and 2 or some reference to the original numbers. The additional details to be addressed would be what covenants to apply to these lots. I also assume there are two HOAs involved. This should be addressed in the plat notes as well as with the blessing of the HOAs and, of course, the Planning Department of the controlling governmental agency.?ÿ
?ÿ
TCO = Temporary Certificate of Occupancy.?ÿ Usually issued by local building authority to allow access to a new or newly remodeled structure or space for purposes of allowing the future occupant to move in, but not operate, while final construction punchlist items are being completed.
CO = Certificate of Occupancy.?ÿ Usually issued by local building authority after their punchlist items are completed and the occupant is allowed to actually occupy and operate their business.
?ÿ
These are the definitions in my part of Colorado.?ÿ I'm not aware of TCOs actually being repealed unless the punchlist items aren't completed, but more like superceded by the issuance of a CO after the punchlist items are completed, inspected and accepted.
TCOs are sometimes used to maximize the number of site visits for the inspector, apparently so that he/she can show his/her boss that he/she is a good inspector....?ÿ
?ÿ
I've seen some extremely overly-picky punchlist items over the past 25 years.
?ÿ
One inspector didn't want the fire sprinkler guys to come in a finish the job because the CO had not yet been issued.?ÿ It took a conversation or 3 for him to realize/understand that the main punchlist item was to finish the fire sprinkler system.
?ÿ
Gotta love bureaucracy!
I'm not sure I have ever worked in a subdivision that had an HOA.
I have only worked in a couple, and the only effect on my work was I put a note on the plat alerting any potential furure owners about its existence.?ÿ
@aliquot Because almost every plat I review or have prepared included the formation of an HOA. It is the normal for the high desert environment I live in. If you are going to have a lawn or garden you will need to have irrigation. This area would be all sagebrush and alkali without the canal systems. That requires irrigation easements in most subdivisions, which require private easements instead of public easements. Therefore, the HOA is created to grant those easements to and to collect the water fees by threat of lien.
A replat of lots in two separate subdivisions is fairly uncommon but does happen and the details like HOA and covenants are sometimes and issue beast thought out before the process goes too far.
@thebionicman My favorite Ron White?ÿ "I didn't know how many of them it would take to kick my ass but I knew how many they were going to use and that is some mighty important information."
