Council approves three-lot replat for Sugar Ranch subdivision near Green River
Summary
The Green River City Council approved a resolution recommending Sweetwater County approve a three-lot replat of the Sugar Ranch Subdivision (lots 6through 16 of Block 18). The replat creates three lots totaling 2.036 acres and remains in R-2 zoning.
The Green River City Council approved a resolution Tuesday recommending the Sugar Ranch Subdivision replat of lots 6 through 16 of Block 18 in Jamestown, creating a three-lot subdivision totaling approximately 2.036 acres.
Planning staff told the council the replat lies outside but within one mile of Green River's corporate limits and therefore requires city review before final approval by Sweetwater County, per state statute and the city's subdivision regulations. The planning and zoning commission reviewed the proposal on April 9 and recommended approval.
The replat will create three lots in an R-2 zone; Lot 3 will retain an existing residential dwelling, and no specific development plans were provided for Lots 1 and 2. A drainage plan by a Wyoming-licensed professional engineer will be required with any construction-permit application, and property owners must maintain drainage as permitted. Water service will be provided by the Jamestown Rio Vista Water and Sewer District; Sweetwater County Health will not permit centralized sewage systems, so individual septic tanks and leach fields are expected.
The motion to approve the resolution was made by Councilwoman Bushman and seconded by Councilman Williams; the motion carried unanimously.
Why it matters: Because the subdivision lies within one mile of the city's boundary, state statute and city rules require Green River to examine the plat before county approval. The action is procedural but necessary to move the replat forward to County review and recording.
What happens next: The applicant or property owner must submit a drainage plan prepared by a Wyoming-licensed engineer and comply with county health rules for septic systems. Final plat recording will occur at the county level after county approval.
