Variance · Planning application
County commissioners ruled on bid to enlarge rural lot beyond 2.5 acres
The request would move a property line to grow a 2.49-acre home lot to about 3.4 acres, needing a variance. The board heard it April 28. Staff recommended denial, and county records conflict on the outcome, so check with the county.
From the filing
The application's description as it appears in Ada County's record. See the official record
The applicant asked to shift property lines between two parcels near Kuna Mora Road and S. Eagle Road in Ada County. This would add about 0.94 acres to a 2.49-acre rural residence lot, making it about 3.4 acres and over the 2.5-acre maximum, so a variance was also requested. No buildings or site improvements were proposed, and the Board of County Commissioners denied the request.
Application for approval of a Property Boundary Adjustment and Variance to allow for a non-conforming lot size.
