Planning Commission reviews final plat for Spring Creek Village Third filing

The Laramie Planning Commission reviewed a final plat for the Spring Creek Village Third filing, proposing 24 residential lots on a 2.5-acre tract north of Boswell Drive and west of Ninth Street, Community and Economic Development Director Derek Taney said at the March 10 meeting.

Taney, the City of Laramie's Community and Economic Development Director, said the filing was submitted by Spring Creek Storage LLC and is part of the larger Spring Creek Village Subdivision. He said the proposal would extend Palmer Drive and connect it into Boswell Drive and include full city infrastructure — curb, gutter, sidewalks, water and sewer.

“An approved preliminary plat serves as an approved site plan outlining the general layout and infrastructure requirements for a development,” Taney said, explaining the difference between a preliminary and a final plat. Taney also said, “No new parkland dedication was required with this filing as previous phases of the development already exceeded dedication requirements, including trail construction along the Spring Creek Corridor.”

The transcript does not specify a formal action or vote on the final plat during the recorded remarks. Taney described the procedural context that a final plat is filed only after a preliminary plat has been approved or conditionally approved by the city council. The presentation closed with a staff note on where to find more information: “For more information about this project or to get involved in future planning efforts, visit cityoflaramie.org/planning.”

The review affects the Spring Creek Village Subdivision and future homebuyers and developers in that area; the filing’s implementation will depend on completion of required infrastructure and any subsequent city council or administrative approvals that are not specified in the transcript.
