Sheridan County planner: nine subdivision applications in process; pilot to speed small‑structure permits
Summary
County planner Mark Reed said the county is processing nine subdivision applications and is launching a pilot to review building permits for structures under 3,000 sq ft within 10 days to meet a July 1 statutory deadline.
Mark Reed, Sheridan County planner, told commissioners the county is seeing an unusually high number of subdivision applications and expects more in the coming months. "We've got 9 applications in the works, either scheduled or under review, and probably a potential for an equal number coming," he said.
Reed described a pilot program to review permit applications for completeness within 10 days for structures under 3,000 square feet to help meet an upcoming July 1 statutory requirement. "We've got a spreadsheet built for that…we're gonna try to get it up and going before… the July 1 requirement," Reed said. Commissioners asked follow‑up questions about specific projects, including whether a new RV park application in Story was pending; Reed said the only recent RV park approval was the Smith RV Park at Lodore, approved several months earlier.
The planner urged colleagues to review the new internal workflow if they want to see how it operates. The pilot aims to accelerate turnaround on smaller projects while acknowledging it will not apply to larger building permits.
