Fremont County approves PKJ Subdivision after tribal and planning commission review
Summary
The commission unanimously approved the PKJ Subdivision after tribal review and local planning commission recommendation; roads were constructed by tribal partners and planned uses include a game fish office.
Planning staff briefed the Fremont County Commission on the PKJ Subdivision, noting it has been in process for about a decade and cleared tribal review and the county planning commission.
“Everything else has been approved through the tribe, got the roads finished. Went through our planning commission. They've approved the dates,” planning staff said, describing roads the tribes completed and noting the subdivision’s location near the Hot Springs area.
Commissioners discussed site details, including planned use of property for a new game and fish office and questions about utilities. Planning staff said city water and sewer are available in the subdivision area and that lots will be served by city water; no shared well was planned. The staff also said the tribes completed road construction and would transfer relevant easements.
Commissioner (unnamed) moved to approve the PKJ Subdivision “as recommended by the Fremont County Planning Commission.” The motion was seconded and passed by voice vote; the record shows “Aye” and the chair declared the motion passed.
Why it matters: Approval clears the way for property development and public‑use facilities in an area of Fremont County. The record indicates tribal coordination and roadway construction are already complete, and at least one lot is intended for a game and fish office, which affects local access and emergency response planning.
Discussion vs. decision: The meeting included staff explanation and questions about utilities and easements (discussion). The commission’s action was a formal approval by motion and voice vote (decision).
