A. INTRODUCTION
During the review of building permit BLD-2005-0722, it was recognized that the Third and
Dayton building encroached slightly onto the property directly to the north (Beresford Law
Office). The proposed lot line adjustment will resolve the encroachment. The applicant is
rd
proposing to adjust the lot line between the two parcels; Parcel A is 145 3 Avenue South (ID
rd
27032300405400) and Parcel B is 155 3 Avenue South (ID 27032300405600).
Approximately 45 square feet of land will be transferred from Parcel A to Parcel B. The
proposed new property line separating these parcels is approximately 0.56 to 0.65 north of
the existing property line as shown in Attachment 3.

Page 3 of 3
This decision may be appealed to the Hearing Examiner. In this case, a written letter and other
items needed to appeal must be submitted to the Planning Division within fourteen (14) calendar
days of the date of decision. Please contact the Planning Division for information. Note that per
ECDC 20.105.010.A.2, appeals of lot line adjustments are limited to appeals by the applicant only
of a denial of a requested lot line adjustment application.
TIME LIMITS FOR RECONSIDERATION AND APPEALS
The time limits for reconsiderations and appeals run concurrently. If a request for reconsideration
is filed before the time limit for filing an appeal has expired, the time clock for filing an appeal
is stopped until a decision on the reconsideration request is completed. Once the staff has issued
his/her decision on the reconsideration request, the time clock for filing an appeal continues from
the point it was stopped. For example, if a request is filed on day 5 of the appeal period, an
individual would have 9 more days in which to file an appeal after the staff issues their decision on
the reconsideration request.
