The full story

The Fremont County Board of Commissioners on Sept. 16 approved the Scott Subdivision, which would split a 47.6-acre parcel east of Kinnear into two lots of about 23.78 and 27.19 acres. Planning Supervisor Steve Baumann said an adjacent landowner raised concerns about drainage and dog safety; Baumann told the board the county's required driveway culvert would address drainage and that dog control remains the owner's responsibility. The board approved the subdivision as recommended by the Planning Commission by motion, carried unanimously.
