CASE //94-71: PATRICIA OSMON$ON, 471~4 WILSHIRE BLVD, & 2745
TYRONE LANE, LOTS 10-16, BLOCK 28, SETON, PID #19-117-23 23 0101 &
0102, REQUEST: MINOR SUBDIVISION.
The Building Official explained that the applicant is seeking approval of a minor subdivision to
correct an existing lot configuration problem. In 1972 the subject division was proposed by an
attorney who sold the property to Ms. Osmonson. The attorney sent the division to the County,
and the County sent the division to the City for-approval. The City apparently never responded
to the request. The- County sent a title to Ms. Osmonson who assumed the matter was settled.
She is now selling the property and found out that the division was never recorded. Staff feels
approval of this subdivision is the only reasonable way to resolve the problem.
The Council discussed the proposal and asked that another Whereas be added to the proposed
resolution to explain the above problem.
The City Attorney suggested the following language: "WHEREAS, the proposed parcels were
created by recorded deeds in 1972, but the subdivision was not approved by the City at that
time; and".
There is also a problem with the address of the Tyrone property that will need to be taken care
of prior to release of the resolution. This will be done administratively.
A new survey needs to be submitted prior to release of the resolution so that variances in
hardcover can be. included in the resolution.

Commerce Blvd. & Three Points Blvd. does meet their criteria for the installation of a traffic

installation would be sometime in 1996 so the City can budget part for next year and part for
the following year. The Council asked the City Manager to check into Minnetrista paying part
because across from Three Points Blvd. is Minnetrista.

the project at an estimated cost of $80,000; and".
