LEGAL DESCRIPTION SE Section: 38 Township: 7 Range: 96 Subdivision: TRAVELERS HIGHLANDS SUB, Block: 3, Lot: 8 and Lot: 9. More described on plat as Reception No. 218477. PRACTICAL DESCRIPTION The property is located at 338 Mosher Avenue and is 2.5 miles southwest of Parachute. The Assessor Parcel Nos. are 240928410011 and 240928410012. LOT SIZES Total 10,000 sq ft of Blk 3, Lot 8 & 9 ZONING Industrial I. DESCRIPTION OF SITE AND PROPOSAL The applicant is requesting an amendment to the plat to combine Lots 8 and 9 in the Travelers Highlands into a single lot. By combining the lots, it allows the applicant to build a shop building across both parcels. The parcels were legally created as lots in Travelers Highlands Subdivision in 1962 before the County had a review process for subdivisions. The original plat reflects basic platting information. The property is zoned Industrial and all new construction will be required to comply with all zoning standards and provisions including setbacks, building heights, floor area rations, and maximum lot coverage. No changes to the plat are proposed other than the combinations of the lots. No new lots will be created and no changes to roadways or existing easements are proposed. Any infrastructure improvements and utilities will be addressed as part of the building permit review process. 2 Figure 1 Location of Parcel 3 Figure 2 Travelers Highlands Subdivision platted in 1962 4 Figure 3 Proposed Holtz Plat 5 II.

From:Casey Lawrence To:Heather MacDonald Subject:RE: Travelers Highlands Subdivision Block 3, Lot 8 & 9 Date:Thursday, June 12, 2025 4:58:19 PM Heya Heather, Thanks for keeping me plugged in on this I appreciate it. I’ve got several comments on the draft plat, which are: I believe we were going to have the “as platted” and “as rearranged” removed from the plat and rather have the consolidated lot depicted with reference (dashed line) indicative of the common lot line dissolved by this plat. The consolidated lot should be designated, I’d suggest Lot 8A or Lot 9A. There is no purpose statement on the plat, which will need to be present on the final draft. The title of the plat needs to be corrected to something similar to: “Amended Final Plat of Lots 8 & 9, Block 3, Travelers Highlands Subdivision”. The legal description listed on the right side of the plat needs to include the reception no. to the original Travelers Highlands Subdivision plat, as it is listed on the Certificate of Dedication and Ownership. Once those changes are made, I believe the plat will be ion a form that I can accept to update the Assessor’s records to reflect the lot line dissolution once approved/recorded. As always thanks for keeping me up to speed on these projects I appreciate it and I hope you have a great evening, happy Friday Eve! Casey D.
