RE Partition information pertaining to Tax Lot 102, Assessor Map 17o23o21
Lot 1 Sicon Acres
Dear Ms. Carney,
lhave enclosed information related to your property on North 31st Street in
Springfield. This information should assist you in any land partition of Tax Lot 102.
ln researching the history of your lot, I could not find any record of this lot being
legally created through a subdivision or partition process. The eastern 7,2OO
square feet of Tax Lot 102 was Lot 1 of Sicon Acres created in the late 1970,s.
The temainder of your parcel was not part of Sicon Acres. Sometime during the
1980's the previous owner either effected a lot line adjustment or established
another lot line for tax purposes in order to create Tax Lot 102. ln this case, the
City assumes that a legal lot line adjustment did occur in the early 1980's before
the City kept records of such actions.
I am relating this history to you for a reason. Because there is no record of legal
descriptions and documents creating your lot, there may be errors or flaws in your
property descriptions. A partition application requires that you hire a registered
surveyor to survey and monument the newly created parcels. I urge you to have
the surveyor also survey and monument Tax Lot 102 before creating any new
parcels.
The easement you referred to over the phone is a public utility easement for storm
water and sanitary sewer. All easements and public utilities must be depicted on
the partition application and a good surveyor will inform you of these details and
include them on the partition tentative plat.
I have enclosed two applications: 1) partition tentative plan with a $425.00 filing
fee; and 2) partition final plat with a filing fee of $155.00. The tentative plan is
submitted first and requires approximately 1O weeks to process. The final plat is
submitted as the final document, and if all the information required by the tentative
plan approval is included on the final plat, the processing time should be one or two
weeks.
lf you have any questions please call me at726-3783
