City staff recommended denial, stating the request \"did not meet the legal or practical criteria for variance and could set a precedent for non compliant subdivisions.\" The staff concern centered on the fact that approving the lot-line adjustment would expand the Riverside property while leaving the adjacent parcel landlocked and without legal access via a public right of way.

During the Board of Adjustment review, commissioners engaged in what was described in the meeting summary as a robust discussion of the site-specific circumstances. The transcript indicates the board considered both the staff recommendation and site conditions before voting to approve the variance; no vote tally, mover or seconder was provided in the meeting record.

The approval allows the proposed lot-line shift that enlarges the Riverside property at the expense of creating or leaving an adjacent parcel without legal access. The transcript does not record any mitigation, condition, or requirement attached to the approval, nor does it specify any follow-up actions by staff to address access or subdivision compliance.

This decision was made during the Planning Commission's session as the Board of Adjustment; it is a formal administrative land-use action affecting property rights and subdivision compliance processes. For details about the variance file or to request the meeting minutes, contact the City of Laramie planning division; the transcript listed a planning office phone number but did not provide additional procedural documents during the session.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Laramie Planning Commission 6/23/25 Recap Video","oneSentenceSummary","On June 23, 2025, the Laramie Planning Commission, sitting as the Board of Adjustment, approved a variance requested by Benjamin Hunke for 2280 Riverside Drive to shift a lot line; city staff had recommended denial because the change would leave an adjacent parcel without legal access.","taxTitle","Laramie City Council, Laramie City, Albany County, Wyoming","taxId",68475,"location","Wyoming","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6184091,"Laramie Planning Commission launches Comprehensive Plan 2045 update with Clarion Associates",77,25855,103255,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5093065-b2c42ddff5b162154c6e6ac2d2c28aca&start=25&end=103","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5093065-b2c42ddff5b162154c6e6ac2d2c28aca/thumbnail_25855.jpg","/articles/6184091/Wyoming/Laramie-Planning-Commission-launches-Comprehensive-Plan-2045-update-with-Clarion-Associates","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6184091-59ba34d002a0bd33a2223762b29360a0/orig.mp4?Expires=1771044834&Signature=FUP7Z~JpasMOlaKe5E8Ln7samMxm62-zs9mZuPGt4J~72zwo-B2oR-LSehHfFry2T2igwMv-Vc7HXCOPqVDKGyC5K3QN6gVKDv40eu6hDnvkqIOV3Q0Z-L7H6Cc8PvCfeEeGHE0aPq6os178RVsDBQZddyPjJIQxYLp-F6zC-UeiMO8VE-vte0ST2Coa2ElNu4Rx0HXZUTNSXkUPV3noY4CxcANIF8jAu-ptVUN0yjYbP2-xQy2v~ieoA4~tTKKjTLwgSoTF~DYek3QCrrij9XtCbv1sfZluHOWIXgDGFqQMYTaWmCQujzsYUYqiyjpi99shW9ROZXgxYoFyXDdvKQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","On June 23, 2025, the Laramie Planning Commission held its first official work session with Clarion Associates to begin the Comprehensive Plan 2045 update, laying out goals and public-engagement steps that will guide city planning over the next two decades.

The plan matters because it will shape land use, housing, transportation and economic-development priorities for Laramie through 2045 and will guide city and developer decisions on growth, zoning and infrastructure.

Planning Manager Philip Gavatula summarized the project scope, saying, \"This long range plan will guide how Laramie grows and evolves over the next 2 decades.\" Commissioners and staff reviewed priority topics that the update will address, including housing, transportation, sustainability, economic development and land use.

Early discussion centered on outreach methods and populations the project must reach. Commissioners and staff emphasized involving the University of Wyoming population, youth, underserved groups and residents in West Laramie and newer subdivisions. The commission noted feedback will also be solicited from boards, commissions and technical stakeholders.

The schedule discussed at the work session includes production of an existing conditions report, public outreach events during Jubilee Days and drafting of guiding principles based on community input. The commission encouraged residents to use the project web resources available through the City of Laramie website to view updates, maps and surveys.

There were no formal votes recorded for the work session; the meeting served to set priorities and public-engagement strategy and to launch the consultant-led planning process. For more information or to provide input, the planning office listed cityoflaramie.org and a planning division phone number as contact points.

The commission adjourned at approximately 6:13 p.m. after completing the work session and other agenda business.","On June 23, 2025, the Laramie Planning Commission held a work session with Clarion Associates to begin the Comprehensive Plan 2045 update, discussing housing, transportation, sustainability, and public engagement milestones including an existing conditions report and outreach during Jubilee Days.","actionData","errors"]
