Board approves Cody septage receiving station site and building plans at West Cooper Lane
Summary
The Planning, Zoning and Adjustment Board approved the City of Cody’s septage waste receiving station site plan and the architectural and landscape plan for a new 1,517‑square‑foot building at 101 West Cooper Lane; site access, utilities, lighting and irrigation reroutes were addressed in staff recommendations.
The City of Cody Planning, Zoning and Adjustment Board on Feb. 11 approved both the commercial site plan and the architectural and landscape plan for the City’s proposed septage waste receiving station at 101 West Cooper Lane, following staff presentations outlining access, utilities, lighting and site constraints.
City staff described the project as sited on existing city property west of the wastewater treatment facility. Staff said stormwater for the facility has been accounted for in previous development stages and will be contained on site; access is via West Cooper Lane into existing service roads, and septic haulers will use a constructed/gravel access to offload loads with no public parking or public entry into the facility.
Staff also described utilities and exterior lighting. “The wall pictures are full cut off LEDs and filled adjusted output. The pictures will be installed to point in a downward position. The lumens are 850 to 1650, and color temperature is 3,000 K,” staff said, noting the board’s historical preference to limit blue light impacts. Staff recommended approval of the site plan with conditions in the staff report.
Board member Joe moved to approve the site plan with staff recommendations; Dan H seconded and the motion passed by voice vote. The board then reviewed the building’s architecture and materials: the proposed structure would be about 1,517 square feet (37 by 41 feet) and approximately 14 feet tall, largely concrete masonry unit in tan and dark brown split-face materials. Staff noted no formal landscaping is proposed beyond existing vegetation and that irrigation lines will be rerouted to accommodate the new building. The board approved the building design with city staff recommendations; the motion was made by Joe, seconded by Catherine, and passed by voice vote.
Staff said fire hydrants and public‑works requirements were met in the review, and that the building’s lighting will be full cutoff and limited to 3,000 K to reduce blue‑light impacts. Access and internal circulation were described as existing and adequate; staff will finalize utility connections in construction plans.
The approvals allow the city to proceed with construction plan finalization and utility extensions for the septage receiving station at 101 West Cooper Lane.
