Public Hearing
Re-plats of K. Bella Properties
December 29, 2009
The Village of Capitan held a public hearing to take comments on the
re-plats of properties owned by K. Bella Properties on Tuesday,
December 29, 2009 at Village Hall at 5:00 PM. The properties
being discussed are:
Lots 7, 8, and 9, Block 77, Original Plat of Capitan Townsite
Lots 20, 21, 22, and 23, Block 83, Original Plat of Capitan Townsite
Mayor Hammons opened the public hearing for discussion at 5:00
PM. Kathy Casper, owner of K. Bella Properties, explained what
she would like to do. She stated she is selling the mobiles and
would like to move the lot lines so each mobile will have its own piece
of property. The mobiles are not sitting on individual
lots. They are staggered on the lots. The lots are 25 foot
lots.
Trustee Riska asked if the mobiles could be moved. Ms. Casper
stated that could not be done. The cost would be prohibitive. She
said when the mobiles were set up, they looked at putting each mobile
on a single lot and there would not be any room between each one.
The way they are placed, each one has some space and room to have small
yards and some privacy.
Kay Strickland read an email that Delia Mangus sent to the Village
regarding the proposed lot lines. She felt by re-plating the
property it would de-value her land, which is next to the lots on
Fourth Street. Ms. Mangus asked that the Mayor and Trustees not
approve the request. Ms. Casper said she worked very closely with
the Village when she moved the mobiles in. She said she is very
concerned about how Capitan looks because Capitan is her home.
Trustee Riska stated the planning board met on 10-6-09 and considered
Ms. Casper’s request. She read the minutes of that meeting.
The Board approved the request upon approval of the board of trustees
and the village lawyer. Mayor Hammons stated the lawyer had no
problem with it.
A discussion followed regarding the hazards of having 25 foot lots
within the “core” of the Village.
The public hearing closed at 5:22 PM.
