restriction of a 1978 plat note.

strip."

Borough action and explanation was, the borough did not and would not
enforce plat notes that were for the benefit of the subdivider and /or adjacent
properties.
As a result of the Borough Planning Commission's action, there was an
unresolved legal issue, i.e. if the plat note creating a buffer on the 1978 subdivision
plat carried forward even though a 1984 re -plat did not contain a buffer note.
Administration intended to comply with council's direction and, based on
the borough's action, would withdraw the plat and by deed restriction, place a more
restrictive natural vegetative buffer restriction on the portions of the property council
directed to have platted.
A metes and bounds survey would be done and the then the deed
restriction would be recorded.
It would take a legal determination with regard to whether the 1978 plat
note was removed or not and could be determined when interest in leasing the
property came about.
Council comments included:
The property was still in one piece, felt the deed restriction would cloud
it, and that it would be better to keep the property as one piece at this time
The deed restriction would add a second layer of deed control.
Suggestion the issue be brought back to council as an action item.
Through the City's process, the public was promised a deed restriction
would be placed. If the deed restriction process went forward, the council's intent
would be on the record and believed it would be a problem for a future council if it
were not done.
MOTION:
Council Member Ross MOVED for the city manager to continue with the direction of
council in placing a restriction on the deed with the metes and bounds. Council
Member Eldridge SECONDED the motion.
VOTE:
*Student Representative Johnson: Yes
MOTION PASSED.
