Persons considering making application for a boundary line adjustment within the city of Algona are strongly encouraged but not required to request that a pre-application conference be conducted with appropriate city staff. Such request shall be directed to the city planner, and upon its receipt the city planner shall schedule a conference between the prospective applicant, their surveyor/architect/engineer/planner and appropriate city staff. The purpose of a pre-application conference is for the prospective applicant and city staff to gain a common understanding of the nature of the contemplated boundary line adjustment and subsequent development, and any procedures, rules, standards and policies which may apply.

The prospective applicant is encouraged to bring to the conference whatever information deemed appropriate to help describe the existing nature of the site and its surroundings and the proposed nature of the contemplated boundary line adjustment and subsequent development. Such information may include photographs, sketches and maps. The city planner or the prospective applicant may request that an additional conference or conferences be held to further the purpose of this section. (Ord. 1016-08 § 2).
