Commission approves Dry Creek preliminary plat after debate over trails, wells and floodplain
Summary
Gallatin County Commission approved preliminary plat for Dry Creek subdivision (15 lots), granted a waiver for parkland in favor of open space, and set conditions including lighting standards and a well-monitoring program after public comment on trails, privacy and traffic.
The Gallatin County Commission on April 1 granted preliminary plat approval for the Dry Creek Major subdivision, a 15-lot residential proposal north of Valley Grove, after hearing staff, applicant and public testimony on trails, floodplain constraints, well usage and lighting.
The proposal and waiver: Hayden Kalajiri, planner for the City of Belgrade, introduced the preliminary plat showing 15 single-family lots and a request to provide open space rather than dedicated parkland. Applicant Mark Fasting of Allied Engineering said the subdivision proposes 11.88 acres of open space in lieu of the roughly 1.49 acres of parkland otherwise required. Fasting said the design exception and open-space approach keep the subdivision consistent with adjacent development patterns while delivering a trail amenity for future residents.
