– Planning Commission ok’s replats

Jamestown (CSi) The Jamestown Planning Commission has approved replating four lots in southwest.

The lots are located at 1300 and 1304 14th St. SW and 1209 and 1303 13th St. SW and affect lots 1 through 4 in Wanzek Second Addition. The property owners asked that the alley right of way be relocated 10 feet to the west. Moving the alley right of way would locate the right of way to where the physical alley was built.

The Planning Commission approved the preliminary and final plat request as no member of the public spoke for or against the change.
