17.68.030 Boundary line adjustments.

A. Conveyance shall be titled "Boundary Line Adjustment."
B. Conveyances shall state that the parcel being conveyed shall become a part of the parcel to which it is being added.
C. The conveyance shall contain the following wording:
The purpose of this deed is to affect a boundary line adjustment between adjoining parcels of land owned by the grantor and grantee; it is not intended to create a separate parcel, and is therefore exempt from the requirements of RCW 58.17 and the Skamania County short plat ordinance. The property described in this deed cannot be segregated and sold without conforming to the state of Washington and Skamania County subdivision laws.
D. A boundary line adjustment shall not be used to violate the short plat ordinance. For example, no boundary line adjustment shall allow an exempt twenty-acre lot to be reduced below twenty acres in size.
E. A boundary line adjustment shall not be used to reduce the acreage of a conforming lot to below the minimum lot size.
F. A non-conforming lot within or outside of a zoned area may be reduced in size but all resulting lots shall at a minimum meet the requirements of Section 17.64.155(A).
G. If the administrator determines that the above has been met, then the administrator shall stamp the deed with a stamp that generally states that the deed is in compliance with the county’s subdivision ordinance, and then initial at the bottom of each page of the deed.
H. No deed shall be recorded with the auditor’s office unless that deed contains the same legal description as a previously recorded deed, is a lot created by a recorded subdivision or short subdivision, or contains the stamp and initials as indicated in subsection G of this section.
