The proposed boundary line adjustment will have a negligible change on both of the subject
properties. The Moveable Peaks property will replace a 0.7 acre parcel with a 0.8 acre
parcel, for an increase on 0.1 acres. The overall coverage on this property will decrease
from 38.5% to 37.9%, while the building coverage will remain at 16.6%. The Pidgeon
property will replace a 0.8 acre parcel with a 0.7 acre parcel, for a decrease of 0.1 acres.
Currently, there are no buildings or development on this property, so overall and building
coverages will remain at 0%. The lot sizes of both properties will remain well above the
minimum lot size requirements of 40,000 square feet
The applicant submitted a boundary line adjustment plan prepared by Krebs and Lansing
Consulting Engineers, Inc. dated January 28, 2004, which is in compliance with Section
15.06(B) of the Land Development Regulations.
