The commission voted to forward the subdivision plat (case 25.01) to city council with staff conditions, including labeling the former lot line on the plat. The plat reduces the size of proposed Lot 2A from about 2.2 acres to about 2.0 acres and increases proposed Lot 3A from about 2.2 acres to about 2.4 acres, according to staff. The property is on the northwest corner of Chamberlain Road and Pontiac Street and is zoned I-1, light industrial.

Staff planner Megan said the application included minor surveying and easement labeling updates and recommended approval once planning considerations are completed. The plat approval was limited to the subdivision document; commissioners said outstanding site-plan issues must be resolved before any site development approval or building permits are issued.

Steve Granger of ECS Engineering, the agent on the file, told the commission he had worked on the plat but not the full site plan and that the map shows what appears to be a recorded WAPA power easement. Granger said the existing shop building partly sits in the easement and that the proposed new building also appears to overlap it. \"There may be a conflict there,\" he said, adding that courthouse research is needed to confirm whether the old easement was ever vacated.

Commissioners pressed staff and the applicant to show the 50-foot power easement on the site plan, to verify whether the easement is occupied by infrastructure (overhead or underground), and to provide recorded-book-and-page evidence. Several commissioners said a new structure generally cannot be approved if it would sit inside an active easement; questions about ownership or vacation of century‑old easements must be resolved before council review.

After discussion, the commission approved the subdivision plat with the staff recommendations, including adding a label for the original lot line on the plat, and took separate procedural action on the development plan. Because the proposed building as drawn appears to encroach on the recorded easement, the commission voted to table the development-plan application pending documentation of the easement’s status, a revised site plan showing the easement and any infrastructure, and confirmation of parking, drainage and other plan items required by staff.

The commission recorded the plat approval by voice vote and then tabled the development-plan application to give staff and the applicant time to provide the recorded easement information and revised drawings before the case goes to city council.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Mills planning & zoning 02.06.2025","oneSentenceSummary","The Planning Commission approved a final plat for a boundary-line adjustment affecting Lots 2A and 3A of the Sage Addition but tabled the related development plan after questions about a recorded 50-foot power easement.","taxTitle","Mills, Natrona, Wyoming","taxId",73759,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6345294,"Planning Commission backs Vision Beyond Borders warehouse with phased paving, requires shared‑access easement",2161,2779000,4940000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2249346-90f473617ab3e40c32a951041cc1c9ff&start=2779&end=4940","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2249346-90f473617ab3e40c32a951041cc1c9ff/thumbnail_2779000.jpg","/articles/6345294/Mills/Natrona/Wyoming/Planning-Commission-backs-Vision-Beyond-Borders-warehouse-with-phased-paving-requires-sharedaccess-easement","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6345294-f288b415029e384da1991f69b031c056/orig.mp4?Expires=1770452843&Signature=oYcnfZJh~tkhGhNycMgNQu-5gcxKzsU-7DOj7V1iI2cnpGZRlkvR5DiQV3QaUPrttr8mNxBZMeSTmVYzAZbj37lKa4x09EFrez5oVYgGFBsdrAoGnDw08B7fvVNq7J2A3WVhQg0P8I6p4Tk66-9SJlPHQDRCpMRn~FR1wjmZcZy2uowfD~BQy8W8MUvgqSFK2FLgjjwXsu6ANfdzcw9xEN~NkoxbxM98D5GQnWwDDKKTZ80q29JUaDYAvgwr6P~Yi5JYsJ09N6L1ey68AFfk5twouMrV0We-zTm76xYbr4-QV35YedQ5Yp2~yJ84-5pgGQc5sw4vgFaR99fY7zoOiw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Planning Commission voted to forward a due‑pass recommendation to city council for Vision Beyond Borders’ proposed commercial pole building (case 24O4DEV) with conditions including immediate paving of access to required parking, a recorded shared‑access agreement, and a five‑year deadline to pave the remainder of the site.

Patrick Klein’s Vision Beyond Borders is proposing a pole‑building warehouse on Lot 3 of the Vision Beyond Borders addition at Yellowstone Highway and Radio Road. The site is about 0.75 acres in a C‑1, general commercial zone. Staff noted the code requires off‑street parking, aisles and access to be paved; the applicant proposed paving the six required parking spaces and using gravel for the remainder of the parcel with future paving planned.

Planner Megan told commissioners that the development application meets many standards but that final city‑engineer–approved grading, drainage and utility plans are required before permits. Staff recommended requiring full paving, but commissioners and the applicant discussed a compromise to allow phased paving tied to a recorded site‑plan agreement.

Public commenter Mike Elston, representing Vision Beyond Borders, asked whether the paving requirement could be delayed for financial reasons so the building could be used sooner: \"It's a matter of the money,\" he said. Jana Beeson, who identified herself as a local resident, urged quick construction of the warehouse to support the nonprofit: \"We're in desperate need of you having a warehouse,\" she said.

Commissioners discussed enforcement and precedent. Several said code requires paved access to the parking area and that ADA‑accessible parking must be provided and paved at occupancy. To balance applicant constraints and code intent, the commission recommended requiring immediate paving of the area that provides paved access to the parking stalls (the commission highlighted a specific area on the plan), recording a site‑plan agreement that requires the remainder of the site to be paved within five years, and recording a shared‑access easement along the property line that divides the lots to protect future access if the parcels sell separately.

The motion to approve the recommendation with these conditions passed by voice vote. Staff will require submission of final engineering, drainage plans, manufacturer specifications for proposed exterior lighting, an ADA parking stall, and a recorded shared‑access agreement before the application advances to council and before building permits are issued.","Commissioners gave a due‑pass recommendation to city council for a Vision Beyond Borders development plan but attached conditions: paved access to required parking now, the remainder of the site paved within five years, a recorded shared‑access easement, ADA parking and final engineering/drainage plans.","actionData","errors"]
