In a recent government meeting, officials discussed a long-standing property line issue affecting two neighboring property owners. David Becker, representing the affected parties, emphasized the importance of resolving a mistake made decades ago that has hindered their ability to sell their properties. The proposed solution involves adjusting the property line, which will reduce one lot size by approximately 2,300 square feet, bringing it down to around 18,000 square feet.

Chair Packer acknowledged the challenges faced by the property owners and praised their cooperation in finding a resolution that would ensure compliance for future transactions. The adjustment aims to rectify a non-conforming situation where a detached building currently sits right on the property line, which could have led to potential demolition if not addressed.

The meeting highlighted the significance of the property line shift, which is described as a minor adjustment that will not impact existing structures on the neighboring lot. The issue came to light just days before a scheduled property sale, prompting urgent discussions among city officials to prevent further complications.

As the meeting progressed, commissioners opened the floor for public comments but received no additional input. The consensus among officials is that the proposed change will alleviate the non-conforming status of the detached garage and facilitate smoother transactions for the property owners involved. The matter is set to be reviewed at the council level for final approval.
