Powell City Council approves claims, liquor-license transfer, appointment and DEQ sewer application for Stonecrest
Summary
At a Powell City Council meeting, council members approved payment of $199,419.44 in bills, transferred a retail liquor license, appointed Jeff Sheridan to the Board of Adjustments, approved two ordinances on second reading and authorized a DEQ water-quality application for the Stonecrest subdivision to extend sewer service 1,200 linear feet.
At a Powell City Council meeting, members approved a slate of routine and development-related actions including payment of $199,419.44 in bills and claims, the transfer of a retail liquor license at 241 West Coulter Avenue, the appointment of Jeff Sheridan to the Board of Adjustments, and authorization of a DEQ water-quality application for the Stonecrest subdivision.
The approvals were presented as motions and carried by voice vote. Council approved payment of bills and claims in the amount of $199,419.44; the motion was moved and seconded and recorded as "motion carried." The council then considered a request to transfer the retail liquor license from Pit Stop 12 LLC to Bailey Enterprises, Inc. at 241 West Coulter Avenue; that motion also passed by voice vote.
The council appointed Jeff Sheridan to the Board of Adjustments. According to council remarks, Sheridan "has been on that board for quite a while," and the appointment was moved, seconded and approved by voice vote.
Council also proceeded with two ordinances on second reading. The council approved "ordinance number 7 20 24" on second reading; a second item identified in the record as "1 20 25 on second reading" was also taken up and approved by voice vote. The meeting record does not specify the ordinances' subject matter beyond their ordinance identifiers.
On development matters, Spencer Fry, representing EA Engineering Associates, asked the council to authorize a DEQ (Department of Environmental Quality) water-quality application tied to the Stonecrest subdivision. Fry said, "I have 1 item for you tonight, and that is another, DQ application for Stonecrest Subdivision," and described the request as a sewer-related DEQ submittal. He added that the project would "serve an an extension of 1,200 linear feet into our system." Council moved to approve the DEQ water-quality application and to authorize all necessary signatures; the motion carried by voice vote.
Council and staff discussed the subdivision's next steps. Fry said the DEQ step is an approval process that typically precedes final subdivision formalities; he noted the full subdivision review (plots and DRC review) would still follow. The record shows some uncertainty about final zoning for the Stonecrest lots: council discussion referenced current zoning as "AC" and that a rezoning application had been submitted; Fry and others said the final lot uses had not been decided.
A committee update included remarks comparing a recent workshop in Cheyenne and a book on small-town development; council members said they regarded the workshop as well organized. Separately, council members discussed long-term plans for the old Froggy Pool and said a single-stall exterior bathroom could be pursued later; the grant funding for that work was not included in the current application.
The meeting concluded with a reminder that the next regular meeting would fall on Tuesday, Feb. 18, due to Presidents Day on the 17th.
