Kootenai County approves final plat for Bunker Ranch subdivision by Dom Construction

The Kootenai County Board of County Commissioners convened on February 27, 2025, to discuss several agenda items, with a primary focus on the final plat approval for a major subdivision known as Bunker Ranch.

The meeting began with a presentation regarding the request for final plat approval for a 12-lot subdivision proposed by Dom Construction and Brian Rush. The subject property, located off Nunn Road in the northern part of Kootenai County, spans approximately 80 acres. The Board had previously granted preliminary approval for the project in December 2022.

The proposed plat includes 12 residential lots, featuring a new interior road connecting to Nunn Road and three common driveways. The subdivision is designed to utilize individual and shared wells, along with individual septic systems for wastewater management. The applicant successfully submitted the final plat application within the required two-year timeframe and has worked closely with the county to address compliance requirements set forth during the initial approval.

During the presentation, it was noted that the interior roads and common driveways have been constructed, with the new road dedicated to Lakes Highway District for maintenance. The bonding for road development has been completed, and warranty bonding for the common driveways has been accepted by the county, which will hold it for 12 months pending a final inspection by the project engineer.

After confirming that all conditions of approval had been met, the Board moved to approve the final plat. A motion was made and unanimously carried by the commissioners present.

In conclusion, the meeting progressed smoothly, culminating in the approval of the Bunker Ranch subdivision, marking a significant step in community development for Kootenai County.
