Planning commission recommends subdivision permit for Frontier Tracks Fourth Filing with DEQ condition
Summary
The commission recommended approval of a subdivision plat to create eight commercial lots at 3330 I‑80 Service Road, subject to a non-adverse Chapter 23 study recommendation from the Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality before recordation.
The Laramie County Planning Commission recommended that the Laramie County Board of County Commissioners approve a subdivision permit and plat for Frontier Tracks Fourth Filing, an application to subdivide property at 3330 I‑80 Service Road into eight commercial lots.
Style Surveying Services LLC submitted the plat on behalf of Reata Holdings LLC; Shane Hansen, agent for the applicant, answered commission questions. Staff reported the property is in the LU (Land Use) zone district and is currently used for commercial oil-and-gas services. The county comprehensive plan and Plan Cheyenne designate the area for limited commercial service and mixed-use commercial in nearby designations; staff said the proposal complies with those plans.
Staff noted the county engineer concurred with the applicant's requests to waive traffic and drainage studies based on submitted justifications, but cautioned that future commercial development may require traffic and drainage studies and other infrastructure upgrades. Bar S Drive must be designed and built to current county road standards. Sanitary service was described as individual commercial septic systems and water provided by individual wells. The staff report cited an AMEC memo (dated Jan. 31, 2014) placing the property in Zone 2, which the report said normally requires minimum lot acreage for groundwater recharge; the report also stated development design standards in section 2-1-104 of the Laramie County Land Use Regulations reference a 5.25-acre minimum within Zone 2B to account for residential impervious surfaces, and staff said the applicant proposes commercial lots that rely on individual wells and commercial septic systems.
No public comments were received during the public hearing. The commission recommended approval with one condition: a non-adverse Chapter 23 study recommendation from the Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) must be received prior to recordation of the plat. A roll-call vote recorded affirmative votes from Commissioners Stottle, Tafoya and Acting Chairman Watkins.
The recommendation will be forwarded to the Board of County Commissioners; staff warned future development of the lots could trigger additional infrastructure studies and agency conditions.
