Commission recommends approval of 5‑acre single‑lot split on Road 18 near Pleasant View
Summary
The commission recommended approval of a 5‑acre single‑lot development and associated rezoning from a 328.38‑acre parent parcel owned by Brenda Davies; staff found utilities can be provided and recommended typical waivers for wildfire and weeds.
Montezuma County planning staff told the commission that Brenda Davies seeks to split roughly 5 acres from a 328.38‑acre parcel at 25580 Road 18 near Pleasant View for a new residence, leaving the remainder as agricultural land. Planning Department staff reported that Montezuma Water Company has capacity to provide an additional 5/8‑inch residential service and that the parcel was classified at low wildfire risk; Wildfire Adaptive Partnership recommended waiving a wildfire mitigation plan and the county weed department recommended a waiver of a comprehensive weed plan while reminding the owner of ongoing weed‑control responsibilities.
Commissioners asked that property boundaries be drawn to preserve setbacks for the existing residence and that the application reflect the current land‑use code date; staff agreed to correct the referenced code date before the packet goes to the Board of County Commissioners. No public comments were offered at the hearing.
Commissioner motioned to recommend approval of the 5‑acre single lot development and rezoning to the Board of County Commissioners, and the motion passed unanimously by roll call (Hernandez, Armstrong, Nygaard, Lynch, Doyle). Planning staff will forward the recommendation to the BOCC for final action.
