Gallatin County commissioners on July 1 approved final plat approval and related actions for the Summit Major Subdivision, a proposal to divide a 56.97-acre site into 35 single-family lots northwest of the Nash Road and S. 19th Avenue intersection.

Christopher Scott of Gallatin County Planning told the commission the actions before them — acceptance of a public right-of-way easement for Nash Road, acceptance of interior road dedications (Nash Road, Glendale Loop, Riley Road, Holtz Lane), and an improvements agreement covering paving and trail construction — complete conditions required for final plat approval.

The commissioners accepted the Nash Road public-right-of-way easement and the interior road dedications by separate resolutions and authorized the chair to accept an improvements agreement that allows the subdivider to complete paving and trails under a financial guarantee. Planning staff said the subdivider provided a letter of credit equal to 150% of the estimated cost of the improvements; that guarantee will expire one year after the improvements’ completion deadline.

Scott said completion of the improvements is required prior to May 1 (year not specified in materials) and that the county attorney reviewed the agreement and financial guarantee as acceptable. With those items in place, a commissioner moved to grant final plat approval; the commission adopted staff findings and approved the final plat.

Scott credited planner Reagan Frew for preparing the staff report and noted that the approvals complete conditions 22 and 30 of the preliminary plat review. The approvals allow the developer, Ashrail LLC, to proceed toward building individual home lots subject to the listed conditions and to the county’s subdivision regulations.

No public comments were offered during the hearings for the easements, dedications or final plat.
