The commission approved the Middle Fork Ranch minor subdivision, a three-lot split along Moose Lake Road composed of large parcels (about 60 acres or larger). The planning department reported that each lot has an existing access and that septic feasibility appeared routine.

Key conditions: The planning board included a 10-acre building envelope on the lots and recommended that enforcement of restrictive covenants (such as limits on vacation rentals or commercial hookups) remain a private matter among property owners rather than a county enforcement issue. The commission approved the plat with conditions reflecting the planning-board recommendations.

Why it matters: The approval allows the property owner to record the subdivision and proceed with private transfers under the recorded covenants; county staff clarified that the county will not enforce private homeowners’ covenants but will record and accept the subdivision documents as filed.

Ending: Staff will finalize plat paperwork and file the recorded documents; the commission reminded prospective buyers that covenant enforcement is a private civil matter between property owners.
