Committee Chair Robert Grant moved to recess the meeting; the motion was seconded and the meeting was recessed.

Legal counsel told the committee that the bylaws do not permit remote appearances and that, because of the lack of quorum, the committee could only hear presentations but could not make decisions. Counsel said the committee could recess the hearing and pick up public comment and any vote at the next meeting; members also discussed the possibility of calling a special meeting if the chair and a quorum agreed and proper notice were given.

Commissioner Dave North and committee members discussed notice and format for a possible special meeting. Legal counsel said the special meeting notice requirement varies in the bylaws but confirmed a posted notice is required; counsel also stated that the bylaws require in‑person attendance and do not allow remote appearances. A committee member asked whether a special meeting could be scheduled sooner than June 10; counsel said the chair could call a special meeting but it must be properly noticed and have a quorum.

Applicants in the room asked for early consideration if a special meeting were scheduled. John Cornquin, representing Bottom Rock, said a delay had financial consequences for his mountain subdivision project and asked for the same special‑meeting consideration. The chair and other members indicated they would try to accommodate applicants if a properly noticed special meeting with a quorum could be called.

Because the committee could not legally take action that evening, it recessed the meeting until June 10 and advised members of procedures for calling a special meeting and the notice requirements.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Natrona County Planning Commission - May 13, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The Natrona County Planning and Zoning Committee recessed its meeting until June 10 after discovering it lacked a quorum, discussed bylaw limits on remote participation and the possibility of a special meeting, and heard requests from other applicants for priority scheduling.","taxTitle","Natrona, Wyoming","taxId",3790,"location","Wyoming","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":72,"_73":56,"_74":56},6057535,"Natrona planning body hears Sandhill Holdings two‑lot subdivision proposal near I‑25; vote deferred",822,278000,1100000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3305575-1bc62b63a01e5018bebae1420b12f72d&start=278&end=1100","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3305575-1bc62b63a01e5018bebae1420b12f72d/thumbnail_278000.jpg","/articles/6057535/Wyoming/Natrona-planning-body-hears-Sandhill-Holdings-twolot-subdivision-proposal-near-I25-vote-deferred","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6057535-a2ee64e5bf8ebbd7a7e2a3e7b95e82f7/orig.mp4?Expires=1773774482&Signature=ZdTOB4DYQILHNbVKKFRkuj0zRfYudfnR~cPp6aUBcheNU1zw4jwzte5l~s7fmXZGdz9G~bPsDcrsM72wwovzLLGgnNXRni3UnRNNygB-ODW6nxntzZDbQ9EIJqx~Crn1eeEhF5LtKcpEEDnUmpTSrhnA4MLg7Jcg~Bn3xZTcqF5F3eCiWrX9QibITP6vTss2K0HkXI1grvfFHq8CEj79cA4zC~n4N0YQyTOL7zxy5N-UtpgLmnNDbKNixsxMIO7u8j9CGMB2nk~4Km1PMJVeweAnR4qgWoj-3V~vfvFRuzykn7uZ58Z6R6ZWR~Rhra--BB1eM80evSJ7soGcLMbIyQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Natrona County Planning and Zoning Committee on an evening meeting heard a presentation from ECS Engineers on MS 24‑09, a request by Sandhill Holdings LLC to create a two‑lot major subdivision on roughly 32 acres in the Light Industrial (LI) zoning district at the intersection of Interstate 25 and Howard Street near the Wardwell interchange. No formal action was taken because the committee lacked a quorum; the public hearing and any vote were deferred to the committee's next public meeting on June 10.

The proposal, described by presenter Sean Gustafson of ECS Engineers, would split the parcel into two lots that exceed zoning minimums. Gustafson told the committee that the town of Wardwell (referred to in the application materials as “Bar None”/Wardwell Public Water and Sewer) provided a will‑serve letter for water and sanitary sewer service. He said the nearest sanitary sewer main is about 1,000 feet west, and that the potential buyer of Lot 2 is planning a sewer system that will require permitting under Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality (WDEQ) design standards (Chapter 3).

Staff recommended a “due pass” to the Board of County Commissioners, concluding the application is complete and consistent with Natrona County zoning and subdivision regulations. Gustafson summarized staff findings: \"Staff finds the application to be complete in compliance with the zoning and subdivision codes and recommends a due pass recommendation to the Board of County Commissioners.\" He also highlighted that WDEQ review is typically required for subdivisions of six lots or more under Wyoming statute 18‑5‑306; because MS 24‑09 proposes fewer than six lots, the county retains purview over whether a Chapter 23 review is necessary.

Traffic and access were emphasized by commissioners and staff. The application included a traffic study that recommended improvements; Gustafson said the Wyoming Department of Transportation (YDOT) will require access modifications and permitting for ramps and turn lanes if the development proceeds. A representative for the applicant said the likely development for Lot 2 is a truck stop, an allowed use in LI zoning, and that the developer \"will make a third lane if that's what we need to do\" to meet DOT requirements.

Committee members and multiple county departments reviewed engineering, soils, health, fire, and mapping considerations. The Natrona County Health Department asked that a WDEQ Chapter 23 review be considered to determine whether the Wardwell water and sewer district can handle additional flows and cautioned that a UIC permit could be required if Wardwell cannot accommodate flows. The Natrona County Conservation District, Road and Bridge, Fire Department, GIS and Surveyor offered comments that staff indicated have been addressed or will be addressed in improvement plans.

Because no vote could be taken, the committee did not adopt or deny the subdivision; the public comment period and any formal decision will occur at the committee's next meeting on June 10, when a quorum is expected. Staff recommended that, if approved later, the planning commission incorporate by reference the findings of fact in the meeting packet.","The Natrona County Planning and Zoning Committee heard a presentation on a two‑lot major subdivision proposed by Sandhill Holdings LLC for about 32 acres east of I‑25 but took no vote because the meeting lacked a quorum; the matter will be considered at the committee's next meeting on June 10.","actionData","errors"]
