The Montezuma County Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) convened on September 30, 2025, to discuss several key agenda items, including the approval of previous meeting minutes and a public hearing regarding a proposed subdivision.

The meeting began with the approval of the minutes from the September 23, 2025, session, which was unanimously accepted by the commissioners. Following this, the board held a public hearing for a major subdivision application submitted by Paul and Dana Weyan, represented by agent Cody Maxwell. The proposal involves creating a 16-lot subdivision on a 91.76-acre property located off Highway 145 in Cortez, Colorado.

During the hearing, it was confirmed that the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) has granted an access permit for the subdivision, allowing for 17 residences. The commissioners inquired about potential upgrades to the access point, which is situated near a local rock shop, but were informed that no additional improvements are planned at this time.

Public comments were invited, but no community members chose to speak on the matter. The Planning and Zoning (P&Z) board had previously recommended the subdivision for approval, with the only condition being that new lot owners be informed of the land use code.

After a brief discussion, the commissioners moved to approve the subdivision application, which was passed unanimously. The meeting also included two additional items related to minor amendments for other subdivisions, which were noted but did not require extensive discussion.

The approval of the Weyan subdivision marks a significant step in local development, reflecting ongoing efforts to manage growth in Montezuma County while adhering to regulatory standards. The commissioners emphasized the importance of ensuring that future lot owners are aware of local land use regulations as part of the approval process.
