Summary

Bannock County planners approved a minor lot-line adjustment in the Coyote Hollow subdivision that shifts a driveway fully onto Lot 4; the council required clarified easement measurements, depiction of open space, and documentation of a fire-turnaround and a 28,000-gallon underground fire-suppression tank.

The Bannock County Planning and Development Council voted unanimously to approve a minor lot-line adjustment in the Coyote Hollow subdivision that moves a driveway entirely onto Lot 4 and revises the open-space depiction.

Applicant representative Stuart Ward told the council the change is a lot-line adjustment between Lots 3 and 4 intended to place the existing driveway fully on Lot 4. Staff requested clearer depiction and measurements for existing public-utility and slope easements so future owners understand where building is restricted. The council added conditions requiring the subsequent plat(s) to show measurements and instrument numbers for easements and rights-of-way, to depict open-space lots as restricted from development, and to show a 90-by-45-foot easement for a fire-truck turnaround and a 28,000-gallon underground fire-suppression water tank.

Staff explained the item is effectively an administrative replat under the subdivision ordinance because the work aligns with an existing subdivision; no new roads are proposed and the proposed changes do not alter housing density. Staff also asked that the record clarify the public-utility and slope-easement dimensions so it is clear where construction is restricted on future lots.

The council moved to approve the adjustments with the three conditions read into the record: clear identification of all current and proposed easements and rights-of-way (with measurements and instrument numbers when available); depiction of open space as separate lots restricted from further development pursuant to subdivision code; and depiction on subsequent plats of a 90-by-45-foot easement for fire-truck turnaround and of the underground 28,000-gallon fire-suppression tank. The motion passed on a 3–0 roll call.
