Cody council approves final plat for Deuce’s Subdivision with variances, conditions on infrastructure and utilities
Summary
Council approved the final plat for the Deuce’s Subdivision, a 15-lot development north of Mountain View Drive, with granted variances (reduced right-of-way, 100-foot internal curve radius, waived alley), conditions including payment of public-use fee of $13,904 and transfer-of-water-rights documentation from the State Board of Control.
The City of Cody approved the final plat for the Deuce’s Subdivision, a proposed 15-lot development north of Mountain View Drive and west of 20th Street, granting requested variances and imposing conditions before final acceptance of infrastructure.
Yutona (community development director) presented the application and staff report. According to the presentation, Lots 1–14 are in an R-3 residential zone and Lot 15 is in a light-industrial/business zone (D-3). The developer requested variances for a reduced master-plan street-section/right-of-way width, a 100-foot curved radius on the internal street (smaller than standard), and waiver of alley requirements. Staff and the planning board recommended approval subject to conditions.
Council and staff discussed emergency access and parking with the reduced curvature. Philip (public works/street staff) explained the inside of a tighter curve would be painted and parking restricted there to maintain fire and emergency access; he said Fire Marshal Sam Wild had reviewed and did not express concern about emergency vehicle access. Council also discussed alley waivers and roll-out trash service versus large stationary dumpsters; staff said the commission recommended rollouts and the applicant must satisfy the city’s open-space or fee-in-lieu requirement.
Conditions listed by staff and required before mayoral signature and recording included: submission of signed construction plans from third-party utility providers and electric division; payment of the reduced public-use (open-space) fee of $13,904; payment of applicable utility fees (electric equipment, water tap/hookup, sewer prime investment fee, raw water tap/hookup); recorded declarations of restrictions and maintenance agreements; a utility installation agreement provided before preconstruction; a one-year guarantee for improvements; and documentation of any water-rights transfer from the State Board of Control before final plat signing.
Council member Lang moved and Council member Shreve seconded approval of the final plat; the council approved the final plat by voice vote.
Ending: Staff will require the listed conditions before final acceptance of subdivision improvements and recording of the final plat.
