The Laramie County Planning Commission recommended that the Board of County Commissioners approve the subdivision permit and plat for Redco Ranch, an approximately 83-acre parcel proposed to be divided into 14 residential lots of roughly six acres each.
Justin Arnold of Laramie County Planning said the plat proposes to subdivide roughly 83 acres into 14 single-family residential lots; sewage will rely on individual on-site septic systems permitted to Wyoming DEQ rules and Laramie County Environmental Health standards, and water will be served by individual residential wells permitted by the Wyoming State Engineer's Office. Arnold said the county engineer concurred in a waiver of traffic and drainage study requirements for this specific plat.
Molly Bennett, Laramie County Public Works, told the commission that access roads, ingress/egress and utility easements would need to be brought up to county standards. Applicant agent Shane (on the record) said planned road upgrades include dedicating and upgrading the new internal road and upgrading the north entrance road toward the exempt subdivision; Shane said the project's daily-trip estimate is 9.5 trips per day, which the agent said is below the threshold that would trigger a traffic study.
Staff noted agency review comments remain ongoing. Staff recommended approval with two conditions: 1) the road connecting to the exempt subdivision to the north be named appropriately under the Laramie County Land Use Regulations prior to plat recordation, and 2) a non-adverse Chapter 23 DEQ determination be received by planning prior to plat recordation. A commissioner moved to adopt staff findings A and B and recommend approval to the Board of County Commissioners with the two conditions; the motion passed on roll call (Stottle, Tafoya, Coy voted yes).
