Legal counsel Alexa advised the board to consider enforceability when setting conditions. The permit draft contained 11 conditions drafted by staff and legal, many intended to confine business operations and limit impacts on neighboring residences: indoor storage and processing for materials that are part of the business (excluding personal‑use vehicles), limits on vehicles and employees, restricted hours of heavy equipment operation, prohibition on burning business‑related materials, noise and nuisance limitations, insulation or other sound‑mitigation measures for buildings used for processing, and a ban on new signage unless permitted.

Applicants James Brost and Angela Coley told the board they had reviewed the conditions and said they were acceptable but that compliance would take time. Brost and Coley said they were working to clean up outdoor storage and that they plan to reduce noise by using an electric chainsaw for some work and by adding silencing to their splitter. Brost reported his own decibel measurements near equipment: one reading of about 90 dB near the splitter at higher speed and an 83 dB reading from a neighbor’s back fence 285 feet away.

Board members and counsel discussed enforceability and specifics. Alexa recommended clarifying the burning prohibition so it applies to materials produced by or related to the business while allowing personal fires compliant with city code. The board added a 90‑day deadline for the owner to bring operations into compliance and agreed the business could continue operating during that 90‑day period subject to restricted equipment hours. The board proposed limiting equipment operation to 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Saturday and establishing customer hours consistent with typical business hours (board settled on 8 a.m. to 7 p.m.).

Dan moved and Catherine seconded the motion to approve the CUP subject to staff findings, the draft conditions to be revised and approved by the city attorney, a 90‑day compliance period and the operating‑hours limits described above. The board conducted a roll call vote for this item: Carla, Dan, Catherine, Ian and Joe voted yes; the chair voted no; Sarah recused herself from the item. The motion carried.

Legal counsel and staff emphasized enforcement would be complaint driven and that repeat violations could trigger revocation of the CUP under existing code provisions. The board asked staff to ensure the final language clarifies enforcement, any exceptions for personal‑use burning and how noise complaints would be handled.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Cody - Planning and Zoning - May 01, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The Planning, Zoning and Adjustment Board approved a conditional use permit allowing a large‑scale home business (firewood operation) at 235 Cooper Lane West for James Brost and Angela Coley, subject to revised conditions to be finalized by the city attorney, a 90‑day compliance window and limits on equipment hours and customer access.","taxTitle","Cody, Park County, Wyoming","taxId",68762,"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},6584408,"Board recommends approval of Shadow Mountain No. 3 final PUD for Higbee senior apartments, subject to conditions",1158,1764000,2922000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3172720-b7ffe01955c17df073a3f162688732fb&start=1764&end=2922","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3172720-b7ffe01955c17df073a3f162688732fb/thumbnail_1764000.jpg","/articles/6584408/Cody/Park-County/Wyoming/Board-recommends-approval-of-Shadow-Mountain-No-3-final-PUD-for-Higbee-senior-apartments-subject-to-conditions","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6584408-3e63bea07b264b68106d1a36b58b2ff5/orig.mp4?Expires=1776412146&Signature=HKGFQGULfY8NpI3iQuU7fRNTLCZP3~LUQ0sodCuhrXKNq7kZvxYk7EsMvemcJPl88Aa2Qq0ek8ZSeLVoSh4M2UAuYACSvYmaA-82xio9BmPPwmDFSkRFe-lJnMGOeZEa6Y1nQP7V1TXzNEMezG0SlMnpYwRmF88zbJg4QT~9oLjoF5Q3hTB61pYI7MiH5YVU1Hsr7j4mQBO-vxicxH9E1T-1y5btzO-LKUenpSHwR1Gh64bb3UMR4n32Qr2nYnM99z~9Q0HNYs~cUA-KKVknqBdJGbyQsLbpJkvhPvasdpi~ZEGOstoIgKwYlD1NILcomVc0IG66dxnRnCYkISQTsg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Planning, Zoning and Adjustment Board on May 1 recommended City Council approval of the final plan and construction plans for Shadow Mountain No. 3, a planned unit development proposing four three‑story senior independent living buildings on a 3.1‑acre site at 3001 Cougar Avenue.

Yutona (planning staff) presented the final plan and said the PUD process and city code (Title 11, Chapter 7) control the review. The application seeks four buildings totaling 48 units (four 12‑unit buildings were described), with senior housing defined in the submission as a household containing at least one member meeting the age requirement. Yutona told the board that planning staff recommended approval of the final plan subject to several conditions, noting the final plan has been circulated to city departments and utility providers. Staff’s conditions were framed as engineering and administrative items that must be resolved before council consideration; the staff memo highlights the need to resolve a treated‑water looping issue with Public Works, to confirm the final number of parking spaces (staff observed 74 on the plans vs. 78 stated in the narrative), to provide lighting plans that meet city standards, and to ensure continuous five‑foot pedestrian connectivity in the parking area.

Developer Ed Higbee addressed the board and described the project’s financing considerations and intent. Board members asked about tree planting, building colors and the parking/landscaping plans. A board member noted the project has PUD status and that some design elements such as landscaping need not be finalized with the PUD final plan; staff clarified which elements would be required or deferred.

After discussion, Dan moved and Carla seconded a recommendation that City Council approve the final PUD and construction plans for Shadow Mountain No. 3 with staff recommendations 1 through 5 and with the applicant working with staff on outstanding items, specifically the treated‑water looping. The motion passed on a voice vote and will be forwarded to City Council. Staff emphasized that the treated water main looping and the parking count discrepancy must be resolved before final council approval.

The board’s conditions require the applicant to meet engineering comments, to confirm parking numbers, to provide city‑standard lighting plans, and to ensure landscape and site plans align with the final site layout. Public Works will make the final determination on water main looping if the applicant and staff cannot reach agreement prior to council action.","Planning staff recommended and the board moved to recommend City Council approve the final PUD and construction plans for Shadow Mountain No. 3, a proposed senior independent living project by Ed Higbee, conditional on engineering, parking and water‑main looping issues being resolved.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6584411,"Planning board recommends approval of Panorama View Addition Phase 4 preliminary plat with variances",1612,132000,1744000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3172720-b7ffe01955c17df073a3f162688732fb&start=132&end=1744","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3172720-b7ffe01955c17df073a3f162688732fb/thumbnail_132000.jpg","/articles/6584411/Cody/Park-County/Wyoming/Planning-board-recommends-approval-of-Panorama-View-Addition-Phase-4-preliminary-plat-with-variances","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6584411-a26d794f0fea2582414df098092c9fcf/orig.mp4?Expires=1776412146&Signature=D4ij5eoLavMYdQMUKbr1wOaUjpPZEsWZcrhPLPETFWfxuHy8uCkPl3NPZ6ATwbrU-uF4pUD1jQeVCf8lHAgUFxGeTgA414G82oxD1qj7qYBoKV-arnaxtEHGHdIttkpulY7Qvstf7gWFqElXGOkTebwhWC1SGs77NtsJqrAzrK1CYwj2YcvzcGjIcElaT~f5NoUbjHzbtIeiWc8cw411aBqkV1-YXhBFhMlfnvuANW4ZLUzyjHQh~lGjQI2B2z-LIs20kemThHk1iIXYaav6HD~3YRiJqv7gtwBZeWmmWgmMILZaTNPEC8DjVuiKel3orF5iv~RmvhZBkB82XtQNWw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The City of Cody Planning, Zoning and Adjustment Board on May 1 recommended that the City Council approve the preliminary plat for Panorama View Addition Phase 4, a single‑family subdivision at the end of Olive Glen Drive and Linksview Drive.

Planning staff presented the proposal as a 32‑lot single‑family subdivision (the applicant’s application listed 35 lots), with lots “ranging in size from 16,639 square feet to 29,597 square feet,” and noted the application was circulated to city departments and utility providers for review. Staff identified several variances tied to the preliminary plat and recommended approval subject to conditions. Mark (planning staff) told the board, “based on our review, we do recommend approval of the preliminary plat subject to the following conditions.”

Board members pressed staff and the applicant on traffic, street width and future connectivity. Board member Carla asked why the applicant sought variances that would narrow streets; staff replied Olive Glen was designated as a collector in the transportation master plan with an 80‑foot right of way in prior phases but that the right of way for this phase had been reduced while still accommodating the same cross section. Staff said the proposed cross section includes 11‑foot travel lanes, a 5‑foot bike lane and a 7‑foot parking area within a 46‑foot pavement width and a proposed 62‑foot right of way for the new section.

Other variances listed in the staff report included relief from the maximum street grade (code maximum 7 percent) for a short section of Antler Loop (staff and the applicant described the proposed grade as about 8 percent), variances to vertical curve length and to the requirement for alleys, and a variance to maximum block length. Staff said final details — including turnarounds for emergency vehicles and a measured block length — would be addressed at the final plat stage. Staff also noted utilities that had been shown under sidewalks would be relocated into easements and that a typical street cross section must be illustrated before the final plat.

After questions and discussion, board member Carla moved and Dan seconded a recommendation of approval to the City Council for the preliminary plat, with staff recommendations and conditions. The board voted by voice; the motion carried and staff will forward the recommendation and conditions to City Council for final action.

The board’s conditions require that variances be approved and that the developer provide the required street cross section and address public works comments before the final plat is submitted. Planning staff emphasized that final engineering and public works review will occur at the final plat stage, including required turnarounds for emergency vehicles and any adjustments needed if future traffic warrants additional turn lanes.

The City Council will receive the board’s recommendation and the applicant will need to resolve the listed conditions before final approval.","The City of Cody Planning, Zoning and Adjustment Board recommended the City Council approve the preliminary plat for Panorama View Addition Phase 4, approving requested variances and attaching conditions including required cross sections and final public works sign-off.","actionData","errors"]
